Finding Hanukkah decorations at your favorite retailer has become a bit easier in recent years, but it is still a lot of fun to make Hanukkah decorations your own. Try some of these tips for choosing pre-made decorations or creating beautiful heirloom ornaments that will be treasured for years to come.

• Ask the kids to join you in making your own special decorations. Paper star garlands and felt Hanukkah banners are fairly simple craft projects. When you make them yourself with quality materials, the end result is so much more meaningful and unique than store bought decorations.
• Choose quality over quantity. Buy one of the very nicest menorahs you can find and you just may have picked up a treasured family piece that will be used by future generations.
• Visit specialty stores or shop online for a better selection of holiday decorations.
