New Self Necklace – a Colossians 3 Craft
Materials Needed:
- String or chain for necklace
- Letter beads
- Colored beads or charms
- Scissors
- Pliers (optional)
Instructions:
Begin by reading Colossians 3:12-14 from the Bible.
Cut a piece of string or chain to your desired length for the necklace.
Using the letter beads, spell out "New Self" on the string or chain.
Add the colored beads or charms to the necklace, representing the different characteristics mentioned in Colossians 3.
- Love: use a heart charm
- Compassion: use a cross charm
- Kindness: use a flower charm
- Humility: use a dove charm
- Patience: use a clock charm
- Forgiveness: use a key charm
- Peace: use a peace sign charm
Once you have added all the beads and charms, tie a knot at each end of the string or chain to secure it.
(Optional) If using a chain, use pliers to attach a lobster clasp and jump ring to one end of the chain, and a jump ring to the other end. This will allow you to easily open and close the necklace.
Wear your New Self Necklace as a reminder to put on your new self, as Colossians 3 instructs.
