How to Decorate A Kid’s Room With Bible Crafts

Posted on by

Bible crafts are an easy and inexpensive way for children to be exposed to art. Popular examples of these kinds of bible crafts can cost between $30 and $200. A good example is the S&S Worldwide Bible Figures Set. This Includes 600 full-color felt figures, with 12 different landscapes depicting stories associated with Jesus, The kit also includes cut out felt shapes of angels, men, women, children, animals, buildings, scenery and a teacher’s manual with over 180 beautifully written stories and detailed scene arrangements.

Learning Walls are bible crafts that are essentially large murals. These murals are large black and white drawings of such familiar Bible scenes as the flooding of Noah’s ark, the story of Christmas and the story of Easter. The idea is that a group of children can color this mural in to create a unique piece of art. Much less expensive than most bible crafts, these murals can be found on the Internet for less than $15.00.

Making your own Christian cross is also a rewarding activity. Kits exist for making very attractive crosses out of shells glitter and sand. Most of these kits cost less than twenty bucks. There was also a kit for making a hand knotted crucifix necklace out of cord for less than eight dollars.

However it is also possible to make your own cross at home by placing beads on a crucifix shaped wire. Beads made from precious gems such as carnelian or amethyst or Austrian crystals make particularly classy looking bible craft necklaces for adult. Also very attractive and a bit more hard-core is the homemade crucifix that is constructed from nails fixed together with coils of copper wire. Many beading sites also feature free patterns for creating your own beaded cross.

Stained glass is a big aspect of bible crafts and on the net you can find bible crafts kits selling the materials to cut and solder together windows to create depictions of such scenes as the Last Supper and the releasing of the Peace Dove. Sometimes these kits are sold as plaques designed to hang in the windows, although you can also buy kits that make candle holders and Tiffany glass style lampshades.

Of course you can create your own bible crafts using any medium that you wish. Bible scenes and bible verses can be woven into tapestry, embroidered, quilted, constructed out of wood, painted and sewn onto fabric. To find the bible crafts that are best suited to the talents of both you and family members try typing such phrases as angel projects, Christian craft kits, Christian craft supplies, bible craft supplies and bible craft kits into Google.

How to Decorate Your Yard With Light Sculptures

Posted on by

Christmas light sculptures are exactly what the name sounds like. You take a bunch of Christmas lights and wrap them around an object to create a form.

There are all sorts of ways to use Christmas lights outdoors. You can drape them on bushes or on house eves and then gnarl or extend the lights to create a unique effect. However some people don’t stop there. They buy wire armatures to create their very own Christmas light sculpture or create a frame for the sculpture out of bendable wire. The most common Christmas light sculpture is probably a star that is made out of lights that have been wired together.

However you can create a Christmas light sculpture around just about any theme. Reindeers, sleighs and Santa Clauses are also a common Christmas outdoor decoration.

Anything that can be wired into a shape can be turned into a light sculpture. This includes Christmas tree, bell and peace dove shapes. If you know how to bend a wire and how to wrap lights around it then you are fully prepared to create your own light sculptures. If you don’t have a lot of money for chicken wire or other types you can create smaller sculptures out of hanger wire. Any wire that will bend will do. You can even make an armature out of cardboard if you warp it tightly with enough lights so that the cardboard does not show.

You can also make interesting shapes out of the natural forms in your back yards. You don’t always need a wire armature to make your very own Christmas light
sculpture. All that is really required for this type of Christmas outdoor decoration is a bush or a shrub. Don’t be afraid to use your fence, trees or rocks or anything that hat you find in your backyard as the foundation for your sculptures. Lighted spiral tree sculptures and lights decorating birdbaths and arbors can turn your garden into a glittering Christmas outdoor display.

Obviously the more strands of lights that you have, the more expensive your electricity bill is going to be after the season of making merry is over. Second of all try to buy Christmas light for the yard that has a pre -manufactured design to it. You can buy all kinds of multi-tiered and draped lights that only use one socket instead of several. This can help cut energy costs.
