Creating Kwanzaa homemade party supplies and decorations is a fantastic way to celebrate the holiday. Kwanzaa is a weeklong celebration from December 26 – January 1 honoring African heritage and culture, observed from December 26 to January 1 each year.
Some Kwanzaa handmade party supplies and decorations include a mkeka and Kwanzaa garland . A mkeka or mat is fashioned from straw or cloth. This type of mat can be easily woven from yarn from traditional African colors such as black, red, and green. Kwanzaa garland can be made from scarves (African colors) and fake flowers.
A corn centerpiece is an important Kwanzaa decoration also. Simply take a few ears of corn and place them in a glass bowl with glass marbles of African colors. A unity cup is also an important Kwanzaa tradition because is used to perform the libation or tambiko ritual during the Karamu feast on the Sixth Day of Kwanzaa.
A handmade Kwanzaa woodland kinara also makes for a great addition to the party supplies and decorations. The kinara is the candleholder used in Kwanzaa celebrations.
Handmade Kwanzaa party supplies and decorations give children and parents the opportunity to build and create special representations of Kwanzaa. Whether or not one is experiencing Kwanzaa for the first time or the tenth, making handmade Kwanzaa party supplies and decorations is fun and will bring people closer to together in appreciating African American culture.
