A Disappearing Heart Craft
…though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Isaiah 1:18
You will need;
- White card stock
- Pencil
- Red construction paper
- Craft string
- Tape
- Black marker
- Buttons or other small round objects
- Blue marker
Cut a 2-inch heart from red paper.
Place in the center of the white card stock. Draw around it with a pencil.
Write “Create in me a clean heart Psalms 51:10” on the card stock. Go over the heart and words with a black marker.
Fold the card stock just enough to make a slit just below the point of the heart. Try not to crease the card stock.
The slit needs to be long enough for the red heart to go through.
Make a hole near the point of the red heart. Add about 12 inches of string. Tape over the hole.
Draw around some small buttons to make bubbles around the heart. Draw over the circles with a blue marker.
Place the string through the slit. When you pull the string the red heart will disappear showing a clean white heart.
Make a Bookmark
You can place this bookmark in your Bible to remember how to have a clean heart.
You will need;
- White craft foam
- Red craft foam
- Tacky glue
- Red pen
- Black or blue permanent marker
Cut a 2 1/2 inch heart from red and white craft foam.
Cut a 1 1/2 by 8 1/2 inch rectangle from white craft foam.
Place the hearts on the ends of the rectangle, so you know where to start writing.
Then write “Create in me a clean heart.” between the two hearts. Don't press too hard with your pen.
Draw an arrow under the words.
Glue the hearts to the ends of the rectangle.
Everyone sins. But God will forgive us. We can ask God to give us a clean heart. These clean heart Bible crafts are great for reminding us that.
