How to Make Prayer Request Bookmarks

Make a prayer request bookmark to teach your children how to pray.

If you are looking for a creative project that will help your children learn how to pray, then consider leading them in a prayer bookmark craft project. These bookmarks are easy and creative, and they also utilize the craft-supply stash you already have. Conclude the craft by asking your children if they would like to pray for the people or issues they have written on their bookmarks.

Things You'll Need

• Card stock
• Paint pens
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Hole punch
• Ribbon

Instructions

1. Cut vertical strips of card stock using your scissors. You can make your bookmark as wide or as narrow as you wish.

2. Punch a hole in the top middle of the bookmark.

3. Write "Prayer Requests" over the top of the bookmark using a paint pen. You will want to write your heading just below the punched hole.

4. Decorate your bookmark with paint pens and markers. Add a border or draw hearts and swirls. Be creative.

5. Draw lines across the horizontal width of the bookmark using a paint pen. This is where you will write your prayer requests.

6. Use a pencil to write prayer requests on the lines. You can erase them once or if the prayer is answered and replace them with new prayer requests.

7. Cut a six-inch length of ribbon. Slip it through the hole at the top of the bookmark until both ends are even. Tie a double knot.
