In many cases, those constructing the sukkah also choose to decorate it with an array of colorful ornaments, adding light and beauty to the festive space.<\/p>\n<p>Today, of course, it is easy to walk into a store and buy ready-made decorations. But there is hardly anything more enjoyable than making the decorations by hand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: revert;\">Indeed, the children of Israel have been making decorations for their sukkot for generations. Children\u2019s newspapers and magazines from the past illustrate the kinds of decorations that were popular in sukkot of earlier times. Many publications regularly included instructions for making all kinds of unusual and creative decorations \u2013 craft projects that kept children busy during the Hebrew month of Tishrei, a month filled with holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.42.48-225x300.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-83444\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.42.48-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.42.48-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.42.48-450x600.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.42.48-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.42.48-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.42.48.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #0d0d0d;\">Cover of <\/span><em><span style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #0d0d0d;\">Mishmar L\u2019Yeladim<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #0d0d0d;\"> for Sukkot, 5736 (1975)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We begin with one of the more unusual decorations \u2013 and perhaps one that is less familiar to the wider public. An October 1959 issue of Davar L\u2019Yeladim (Tishrei 5720) features a short story about a sukkah decoration once common among Ashkenazi Jewish communities: birds made from eggshells.<\/p>\n<p>How do you make them? Pierce two tiny holes at opposite ends of an egg and empty out its contents. Carefully paint the shells in bright, colorful watercolors, then attach colorful feathers to serve as wings and tails.<\/p>\n<p>The same issue also made sure not to overlook the more \u201ctraditional\u201d decorations. In its \u201cHandicrafts\u201d section, the newspaper\u2019s editors provided instructions for making a variety of decorations: paper chains, hanging \u201csnakes and bells,\u201d colorful streamers, and different ornaments designed to sway in the breeze.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All you need are a few empty tin cans, string for hanging, and plenty of colorful paper and other materials that can be cut, glued, painted, and hung up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.50.48-225x300.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-83475\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.50.48-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.50.48-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.50.48-450x600.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.50.48-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.50.48-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.50.48.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sukkah Decoration Instructions from<em> Davar L\u2019Yeladim<\/em>, 1959<\/p>\n<p>A decade earlier, even before the sound of artillery from the War of Independence had fully died down, children\u2019s newspapers were already keeping their young readers busy making sukkah decorations \u2013 even if these were somewhat more modest affairs.<\/p>\n<p>In an October 1948 issue of <em>Mishmar L\u2019Yeladim<\/em> (at the same time as Operation Yoav was getting underway in the Negev), a contributor named Margalit explained how to make paper chains in the shapes of children, flowers, and more.<\/p>\n<p>A year later, in October 1949 (Tishrei 5710), <em>Davar L\u2019Yeladim<\/em> suggested making even simpler paper chains.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.40.50-300x225.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-83492\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.40.50-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.40.50-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.40.50-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.40.50-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.40.50-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.40.50.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sukkah paper chains, from <em>Mishmar L\u2019Yeladim<\/em> for Sukkot 5709 (October 1948)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.47.22-1-236x300.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-83499\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.47.22-1-236x300.jpeg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"500\" height=\"635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.47.22-1-236x300.jpeg 236w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.47.22-1-473x600.jpeg 473w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.47.22-1-768x975.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.47.22-1-260x330.jpeg 260w, https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-06-at-14.47.22-1.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sukkah decorations, from Davar L\u2019Yeladim for Sukkot 5710 (October 1949)<\/p>\n<p>In the decades that followed, detailed instructions for making sukkah decorations became harder to find.
