Jesus Beard Craft
Isaiah 50:6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my
cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame
and spitting.
Matthew 26:67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him;
and others smote him with the palms of their hands...
Jesus
was beaten, spit on, hit in the face, his beard was plucked, and
eventually was put to death. This was all done for a reason. It was
prophesied that he would come into the world and die for our sins. He
made a way for us so we could be forgiven. Let's not forget what Jesus
went through for us so we could go free....
- Construction paper
(brown or black)
- Stick glue
- Scissors
- Hole-punch
- String
Fold a sheet
of construction paper in half horizontally. (hamburger fold) Draw a month so it is centered two inches
from the short edge and and 1.5 inches from the long edges. (See picture) Stack the two sheets together and cut through
both layers to cut out the mouth. Glue
the two sheets together by running the glue stick just at the edges of the
mouth. At this point you can choose to
round off the edges. Use the hole-punch
to make holes on both sides of the mouth. Cut strips from the top and bottom so
they come to about one half inch of the mouth.
Using the
flat edge of the scissors, curl the strips the way as you would curl ribbon. Do
this part carefully so you do not accidentally tear off some of the strips. (Don’t ask me how I know.) Bend the top curls down to make the mustache.
Tie strings
in the holes. Place the strings over the
top of the child’s ears and tie in the back.
