Explanation

This craft is inspired by Hebrews 10, which speaks of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the forgiveness of sins. The white fleece blanket represents the purity and cleanliness that we receive through Christ’s sacrifice, while the red paint or dye represents the blood that He shed for us. The crosses and the word "Blood" symbolize the power of Christ’s sacrifice to cleanse us from sin. The Bible verse serves as a reminder of the hope and confidence we have through Christ’s sacrifice. This Blood-Bought Blanket can be used as a decoration, a reminder of God’s love, or even as a comforting and cozy blanket.
