Valentine’s Day is a fantastic day to tell people how much you love them, and need them in your life. It is a holiday where love is central. The actual origins of Valentine’s Day are somewhat unknown. There are a lot of stories about it, but it is thought that there is some religious significance to the holiday. After all, the holiday is named after a saint. The following are some ideas for religious Valentine’s Day crafts.
Foam Heart Angel.
Angels are the companions of Christ, and what better way to celebrate the love of Valentine’s Day then to make angel crafts? A heart angel foam craft is a fun gift which can include candy and also has some religious significance for the holiday. Here’s how to make it:
First, cut two 4-inch hearts from foam. Glue the hearts together so that one is upside down, and the other is right side up, and the tips overlap. This is going to form the base of your angel, creating the wings and skirt of the angel. Use a lollipop for the angels head, inserting it through the overlap. Use some pipe cleaner to make a halo. On the back, write a scripture that is fitting for Valentine’s Day and love, such as “This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.” ~John 15:12~
Love Doorknob Hanger.
This doorknob hanger can be given as a gift or kept as a decoration. For this craft you will need a large piece of red card stock, a piece of white card stock, letter stickers, a glue stick, and scissors.
The first step is to cut out a door hanger from the red card stock. You can make it to hang right over the knob. Cut out a smaller doorknob hanger from the white card stock, gluing it on so that it appears to be framed by the red doorhanger. Next, arrange the letters L-O-V-E down the doorknob hanger. Leave some room at the bottom to include the ever popular scriptural quote, “God is love.”
Christian Love Cards.
Another thing you can do for a religious Valentine’s day craft is to create a Valentine’s Day card that has Christian context. There are numerous scriptures that deal with love, devotion, and all of the ideas that surround the holiday. You can use them in creating cards for your Valentines. Some good bible verses to look up and use in your cards include:
- Deuteronomy 6:5
- Psalm 18:1
- Psalm 116:1
- Psalm 145:20
- Proverbs 8:17
- Romans 8:28
Religious Valentine’s Day crafts are not only perfect to make, but also signify that you love God as well as your family and friends.
