    *Note: you can use any size paper you want, just make sure it’s a square. I always have 12x12in paper laying around because I use it for my Cricut.

    The more cuts you make, the more intricate looking your end result will be. I like making a lot of cuts because it looks SO cool when it’s finished. But mess around with how you want them to look and find your own paper-hanging sukkah vibe.

    If you don’t have a hot glue gun, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND purchasing one. I can’t live without mine. Because you’re bending paper, the hot glue really helps it stay in place without coming undone. And these beautiful decorations are going to be spending a lot of time hanging in the wind in your sukkah, so you’ll want them to be able to last and enjoy them as much as you can!

    Praise Yeshua!
