While the shofar is often associated with Rosh Hashanah, it also has an important place on Yom Kippur. The sound of the shofar marks the end of Yom Kippur and serves as a reminder to reflect on the past year and look ahead to a new beginning. Keshet Transition students are celebrating the High Holidays by making their own paper plate shofars! Check out the visual and written instructions below to make one at home.
What You’ll Need
Paper Plate | Tape | Glue | Tissue Paper |
Markers | Stickers | Yarn |
Directions
1. Decorate the plate with markers.
2. Decorate the plate with stickers.
3. Once your plate is decorated how you want it to, roll a paper plate into a cone shape to form the horn.
4. Secure the shape using strong tape.
5. Glue tissue paper around the cone to give it texture.
6. Add a handle by slipping a piece of yarn through the inside and tying the ends.
