I made these Dreidels as part of a gift I'm giving my bosses for Chanukah - I'll be putting some candies or nuts in these.
I found the pattern on www.marthastewart.com under crafts - I enlarged it about 200 times to make it a finished size of about 4 1/2 x 2. I punched a 1/4 inch hole in the top piece and inserted a 1/4 inch dowel and tied a silver ribbon around it. I put some glue around the opening to hold it on.
The piece on the left shows you how it looks before I taped it all together so you can see the images I silver embossed on the sides.
Trolling for ideas for Hanukkah and just saw this. How wonderful! I love everything about it and if I can manage to CASE it, I'll be making 25 for my mom's retirement home friends. So glad you posted.
