Simple Lydia Bible Crafts

To make the robe, cut a piece of felt 6 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches. Fold the rectangle in half. Cut a small hole in the center of the fold so that the spoon will go through. Also cut a 9-inch piece of purple yarn.

Cut two or three strands of brown yarn 12-inches. Fold the yarn so that it will fit the back of the spoon. 

Put some tacky glue on the backside of your spoon. Cover the back of the spoon with the yarn. Depending on the thickness of the yarn, you may need two or three bundles to cover the spoon. Let your glue dry.

Cut the loops of yarn that hang from the bottom of the spoon so that it looks more like hair.

Add a face to your spoon.

Put the handle of the spoon through the hole.

Tie the piece of purple yarn around the center of the robe.

Cut a 9 by 1/2 inch rectangle from purple felt.

Heat up your hot glue gun. Take one Popsicle stick and lay it flat. On each end of the Popsicle stick, put a dot of hot glue.

Take one more and glue it behind the two upright sticks. Tilt it slightly, having it about 1 inch above the other reinforcing stick. Make sure to hold each stick while it dries to keep them in the right position. Your cloth will sit on these two sticks.
