Bible Verse Christmas Tree

In my continuing obsession with adding leftover Diamond Dots to everything, today I have a Bible verse Christmas tree ornament. It's perfect for Sunday School, youth group, or an adult craft group.  Affiliate links below.  

Bible Verse Christmas Tree

Materials:

• 8" craft stick
• Fiskars craft drill
• Folk Art paint - Teddy Bear Brown
• die-cut star
• Folk Art Treasure Gold
• green cardstock or construction paper
• green Sharpie
• leftover Leisure Arts Diamond Dotz
• craft glue
• fishing line

Steps:

Use the craft drill to make a hole in one end of the craft stick. Paint the stick brown. Paint the star Treasure Gold. Set both aside to dry.

Cut the cardstock into strips that are 1" x 2", 1" x 3", 1" x 4", and 1" x 5". 

Choose a Bible verse you like (ideas below) and write it onto the paper strips using the Sharpie. I recommend doing a rough draft on scratch paper to get the spacing right. 

Add dots of craft glue to the paper strips, then put colorful Diamond Dotz on each spot. 

Cut a piece of fishing line and thread it through the hole. Tie a knot. Glue the star over the hole. Glue the paper strips to the craft stick.
