How to Make a Dreidel

Make your own dreidel.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• clay
• a cube clay mold pyramid mold

1. Fill the cube mold with clay and smooth out the exposed surface.

2. While the clay is drying, take it out of the cube mold and stick the pencil into one of the sides. Allow the pencil to reach and is pushed through the opposite face of the cube.Make sure that you insert the pencil perfectly in the center. If it is not, your dreidel will not spin correctly.

3. Pack the pyramid mold full of clay and smooth out the exposed surface.Before the clay has dried completely, remove it from the pyramid mold and place the flat face of the pyramid onto the bottom face of the cube (the face with the pencil sticking out of it).

4. You can either carve them in the sides of the dreidel or draw or paint them on. Be creative, this is going to distinguish your dreidel from all the other ones.
