This menorah is like a mini art installation for your windowsill, dining table, or mantel.

Cost

    Materials

  • Eight glass bottles of a single size
  • One larger glass bottle
  • White spray paint
  • Nine tapered candles

    Tools

  • Goo Gone (optional)
 
1

Gather eight clear bottles of one size (we used small Lorina Lemonade bottles) and one slightly taller bottle.

2

Soak the bottles in warm water to remove the labels. (Use Goo Gone to remove any stubborn areas.)

3

Cover the surface with spray paint, adding a second coat only if necessary—too much can result in cracking and peeling.

4

Insert taper candles into bottle openings, arrange with the taller bottle in the center, and light each night.
