Celebrate Hanukkah with our inspired crafts, gift wrap, favors, and decorations, including dreidels and menorahs. These ideas will help make all eight nights sparkle.

Brighten up a gift card by putting it in this dreidel-shaped holder.

Delicate yellow stars glow against a simple white runner, setting the scene for a modern Hanukkah table.

Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel -- I made it out of card stock! (And there's no glue required, so it's already dry and ready.)

These vellum Hanukkah window decorations make daytime shine.

Handcrafted Hanukkah greetings with cut-out patterns offer a fun, personalized way to present gift cards.

Silver gelt -- chocolate coins wrapped in foil -- make charming favors when presented in clip-art card-stock boxes tied with ribbon and a Star of David.

Celebrate the Festival of Lights with a modern manzanita-branch menorah, sprayed shimmering silver and trimmed with candles.

Add a personal touch to your holiday place setting by monogramming cookies with guests' initials.

Hurricane vases and votive candle holders are wrapped in star-punched paper -- an easy way to suffuse your party with warmth.

Give someone the star treatment by presenting a gift card in this easy-to-make paper holder. You can also use the decoration instead of a bow to jazz up a plainly wrapped package.

A coating of fine glitter turns plain wooden dreidels into a display-worthy centerpiece, or string them together to create a shimmering garland.

Add some sparkle to Hanukkah this season with a homemade menorah.

Within a small felt pouch or coin purse, nestle a silver dreidel and some foil-wrapped sweets.

Use a paper dreidel box to hold candies, nuts, or any other kind of counter.

Give your celebration a special glow with these hand-rolled candles, made from sheets of beeswax in the subtlest shades of ivory, butter yellow, and deep olive.

Build a luminous menorah throughout the eight nights of Hanukkah, using sherry glasses.

Every Hanukkah guest gets a prize -- chocolate gelt -- when they unfold these dreidel-shaped place cards. 

Gift bags of dreidels and chocolate gelt, or coins, are even more of a treat when made from velvet embossed with symbols of Hanukkah.

Stars made from folded paper are so easy to create that within a half hour you can have enough on hand to adorn all of your presents or string into garlands.

For Hanukkah, set out a menorah composed of mini bottles clad in ribbon.

Protect table surfaces with subtly decorative sheets of glassine that you can change daily.

What better gift is there for Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights? Pair a bundle of candles with matchboxes that you've wrapped in blue and silver papers.

Give Hanukkah gelt -- the chocolate coins traditionally used by children for mock wagers -- a stylish wrapping treatment. In one, small glass canisters are lined with decorative paper and filled with coins. A name tag on top and a paper sleeve are the finishing touches. Another stack of coins is swathed in crepe paper and tied with ribbon bows.

Sufganiyot, or jelly doughnuts, can be given out as party favors when arranged in cupcake liners and packaged in cellophane bags.

Construction paper chains and dreidels are made in blue and white, the colors of the Israeli flag.

This cloth bag is designed to hold a dreidel and counters for a game on the go. It's hand-stamped with the top's characters, their transliteration, and the action that each represents. Travelers take note: On Israeli dreidels the last charcter is pei, not shin, changing the phrase "Nes gadol hayah sham" ("A great miracle happened there") to "Nes gadol hayah po" ("A great miracle happened here").

Each year, children celebrating Hanukkah receive a small bag filled with gelt, the Yiddish word for money. This year, fashion a gelt bag out of velvet and emboss it with holiday symbols.

Let the kids make flame headpieces from red and yellow construction paper, then entertain the grownups with the story of the menorah.
