Sukkot Decorations: How to Make a Hanging Paper Craft for your Sukkah
Materials Needed:
Construction Paper
Yarn/String to hang
Hot glue gun
Scissors
Skip the store & plan ahead:
*Note: you can use any size paper you want, just make sure it’s a square. I always have 12x12in paper laying around because I use it for my Cricut.
Start with a square Piece of paper (12x12)
Match edges and fold twice into triangles
The more cuts you make, the more intricate looking your end result will be. I like making a lot of cuts because it looks SO cool when it’s finished. But mess around with how you want them to look and find your own paper-hanging sukkah vibe.
cut strips up from the bottom
open the folds back up
If you don’t have a hot glue gun, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND purchasing one. I can’t live without mine. Because you’re bending paper, the hot glue really helps it stay in place without coming undone. And these beautiful decorations are going to be spending a lot of time hanging in the wind in your sukkah, so you’ll want them to be able to last and enjoy them as much as you can!
Take the First sections on each side and hot glue them together
Flip the paper and glue the next two pieces together. Alternate and repeat!

Until it looks like this!
Attache a string to the top and hang inside your sukkah!
