I’d like to make beautiful Succos decorations with my kids. What are the most beautiful or creative ones you’ve made/have?
Kits or materials?
Looking for ideas so we can work on it this summer.
Thank you!

Buy large Styrofoam balls, fake flowers and pins. Pin flowers to the ball (putting a pin through the middle of each flower) so the ball is totally covered. Attach a string and hang from the ceiling
If you use a variety of types of flowers it will be really beautiful

Thank you! That’s a great idea. Any ideas for more complicated decorations for an older kid?

Similar idea. Take a styrofoam board and use pins through sequins to draw a picture. It will come out even nicer if you first cover board with black velvet and the sequins will stand out even more.
They do sell kits like this.

There is masmidei talent, a kit with instructions for miniatures. It takes a long time because it's a massive project, with multiple kits combined.

Boys only is fine.
I looked them up online and don’t see how to get in touch with them. Where do I find about what they have?

No. It's more than just a project. They learn certain halachos and make projects accordingly. Their projects are gorgeous.

Ushpizin can be a very fun project. I made a beautiful one when I was a teen using various objects Use a strong backing like pleather scraps (in our day it was called vinyl : )
e.g.
Avrohom Ovinu - I cut out a tent, used little twigs to make a tree next to it
Yitzchok Ovinu - built a little mizbeach out of pebbles, twigs on top. Maybe there was foil fire?
Yaakov Ovinue - built a ladder out of little pieces of wood, 12 pebbles around the bottom
Yosef haTzaddik - I found a striped material to cut out a coat
Dovid hamelech - cut out a harp from foil
Aharon Hakohen of course various beads for a choshen
Moshe Rabbeinu was obv luchos but don't remember how I made them

But this is great for kids that are creative thinkers. If not a kit would be better : )

Don’t know how artistic you are but why not a mural? Buy a large canvas or sheet and paint a Sukka themed scene
