Be.Still.And.Know.That.I.Am.God Craft
When life gets overwhelming, sometimes it's important to take a step back and find a moment of peace. One way to do this is by creating a "Be still and know that I am God" craft. This phrase comes from Psalm 46:10 and reminds us to trust in the Lord during difficult times. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of making a serene and spiritual art piece that you can display in your home or give as a gift.
Materials Needed
To create this craft, you will need the following materials:
- Wooden plaque or canvas
- Acrylic paint (navy blue, gold, and white)
- Paintbrushes
- Stencil of "Be still and know that I am God"
- Painters tape
- Mod Podge
- Foam brush
- Sandpaper
Step 1: Paint the Background
Begin by painting the wooden plaque or canvas navy blue. This will be the background of your piece. Use a paintbrush to apply the paint evenly and let it dry completely.
Step 2: Add a Metallic Touch
Once the navy blue paint is dry, take a gold paint and add a metallic touch to the edges of the plaque or canvas. Use a small paintbrush to apply the gold paint and let it dry completely.
Step 3: Tape the Stencil
Next, tape the stencil of "Be still and know that I am God" onto the center of the plaque or canvas with painters tape. Make sure it's centered and straight before moving on to the next step.
Step 4: Paint the Letters
Using a small paintbrush, paint the letters with white acrylic paint. Be careful not to go outside the lines of the stencil. Once you've painted all the letters, carefully remove the stencil and let the paint dry.
Step 5: Sand the Edges
Once the paint is completely dry, use sandpaper to sand the edges of the plaque or canvas. This will give it a distressed look and make it look more rustic.
Step 6: Apply Mod Podge
Using a foam brush, apply a layer of Mod Podge over the entire piece. This will seal the paint and give it a glossy finish. Let it dry completely.
Step 7: Display Your Art Piece
Your "Be still and know that I am God" craft is now complete! Display it in your home or give it as a gift to a friend or loved one who needs a reminder to trust in the Lord during difficult times.
Conclusion
Crafting can be a therapeutic way to find peace and relaxation during stressful times. Creating a "Be still and know that I am God" craft is a great way to remind yourself of God's love and trust in His plan. Follow these simple steps to create a beautiful and meaningful art piece that you can cherish for years to come.
