Bible Crafts: Be Faithful! The Fruit of the Spirit Part 7
These crafts are a reminder of what it means to be faithful. Faithfulness can refer to several things, but always involves loyalty and commitment. We can be faithful friends, and most importantly, we should strive to be faithful to God, as He is faithful to us. A “Faithfulness Rainbow” recounts God’s faithfulness to His promises. A “Faithful Friends Pear Pair” serves as a fun memento to share with others. Let’s get crafty!
Craft One: Faithfulness Rainbow
You will need:
- Paper plates
- Construction paper or cardstock
- Staples, glue, or tape
- Balloons (optional)
- Scissors
- Decorative elements as desired
- Cotton Balls
- Markers or crayons
Procedure:
1. Decorate the plate (or paper/cardstock) with colors to represent the rainbow.
2. Cut the rainbow into an arc shape, and glue cotton balls on the ends to look like clouds.
3. Add extra decorations, including a balloon “water drop,” if desired.
4. Add verses and captions to the final product. You may also add a string or magnet to make the decoration easier to hang and display.

- Glue or tape (optional)
- Stickers or similar decorations
- Construction paper or cardstock
- Yarn or string (optional)
- Scissors
Procedure:
- Cut the paper or cardstock into the shape of a pear, hinged at the center so that two pears are visible (you may also just cut two pears).

- Cut the pears (if they are not already separated) so that there are two parts present.
- If desired, attach a string (for a necklace) or magnet to each pear.
- Give one side to a friend, to let them know of your faithfulness and thoughtfulness toward them.
