Love - Day 1 - Faith-Based Advent Activity

Make a Heart Ornament with 1 John 4:19

This craft is similar to the ornaments that we’ve made on other days this Advent.

Supplies:

Red cardstock or construction paper

A Heart stencil (optional)

Pencil

Black Marker

Assorted beads, sequins, paper scraps to decorate the heart

Ribbon to hang

 

Directions:

·        Cut a heart out of red cardstock or construction paper – either freehand or use a stencil.  Make sure the heart is big enough for step 2:  writing the scripture.

·        Write 1 John 4:19 on the front of the heart.  Consider using heart shaped paper instead of the word “love” as you decorate the ornament.

·        Add additional decoration on the heart.

·        Attach a ribbon and hang it on your Christmas tree.
