Instructions:

1. Make candles -- Cut nine 3-1/4 x 1-1/4-inch candles from white felt

2. Make flames - Cut nine flames from the yellow felt.

3. Make candleholders - From the dark blue felt, cut eight 2-inch squares and one 3-by-2-inch rectangle for the bottom of the candles.

4. Assemble menorah - Take the flat blue banner and place on a flat surface. Glue or stitch the dark blue candleholders along the lower edge by spacing them equally apart and placing the larger candleholder in the middle for the shames candle, which is used to light all the other candles.

5. Attach candles - Glue or stitch a white candle above each candleholder.

6. Attach Velcro - Cut nine small Velcro strips and glue one side above each candle. Glue the matching Velcro strip to the back of each flame.
