Other KJV Crafts
This section is where you will find Bible crafts that cannot be described as exclusively Old Testament or New Testament. For example, a craft that relates to the entire 66 Books of the Bible!
This section also provides free templates to print colour in Gospel tracts for children.
All crafts/tracts have Scripture from the KJV/Authorised version of the BIble.
Free Printable Christmas Gospel Tract
This free template is A4 sized, and requires printing on both sides of the A4 sheet. It is then folded and cut to produce two tracts from each A4 sheet of paper or card.
CLICK HERE to print the free A4 template.
You need to print on both sides of one sheet of paper, if your printer has a double sided printing function, select the option to flip pages on the short edge. You might have to experiment with this, or you could manually print both sides.
Once printed on both sides, place the paper flat with the "Finding Jesus" side to the bottom.
With the sheet placed landscape, measure in 10cm from the left hand side (across the "But Why???" page. Fold the right hand side of the page over to the 10cm mark, then the left hand side should fit over and leave "Finding Jesus" on the front.
Now trim the sheet into two tracts, a rotary paper trimmer leaves a good clean edge. See picture for a visual guide to the folding.
The Books of the Bible
We can all agree that it is not easy to remember the entire 66 books of the BIble!
This craft is aimed at helping children to break the learning process up into little sections that can be covered and uncovered as you test your progress!
Click HERE and HERE to download the free PDF template sheets, you will require two A4 sheets per craft/child. Check the page orientation is set to landscape.
A light card of 160g/M2 will run smoothly through most inkjet printers and adds strength to the craft. You could print on regular paper and then stick to a sheet of card to add strength.
There is a video of how to make this craft on our Facebook page.
- If you have a rotary paper trimmer this is ideal to cut around the bottom and sides of each category flap (History, Major prophets, Gospels etc). If using a rotary trimmer please do not allow children to do this as they are very sharp. Scissors can be used instead but will not be as neat.
- Fold back along the uncut, top edge.
- It is easier to colour in the 66 books at this stage, but it can be done at the end.
- Using a glue stick, glue the sheet with the 66 book names on all the paper that does not have a box with a book of the Bible on it.
- Position the sheet with the 66 books so that the Old Testament books are to the left hand side. Then carefully lower the top sheet over it. They should fit so that the books can be viewed when the flaps on the top sheet are opened. Leave them open until the glue dries to avoid accidentally sticking them down to the bottom sheet.
Further fun ideas...
Decorate with some adhesive gem stones or small stickers.
Punch some holes at the top of the craft and use a pipe cleaner to hang the craft on a wall for easy viewing.
Or, stick the craft to an old shoe box lid and decorate the shoe box. You could then set the shoebox on its side and have it sitting in a bedroom, with a storage compartment inside!

- Take one A4 sheet of medium weight card and mark off an 8cm strip along one side of it. You should be left with a strip 8cm X 29.5cm.
- Take the other piece of the sheet that is left and cut it in two to form two squares (they are not exactly square)
- Cut a 2cm strip off the side of one of these squares. Fold back approximately 2cm at each end of this strip.
- With the other square, find something circular to draw around that is as big as possible to fit in the square, and then cut out the circle.
- Cut another circle the same size from cardboard.
- Stick the two circles together, this will be the saucer.
- Now take the long 8cm X 29.5cm strip and lightly mark a 2cm band along one of the longest edges. Take a pair of scissors and make a 2cm cut roughly every 3cm along this edge, this will create little flaps of card that need to be folded inwards. See pictures opposite.
- Using two lengths of double sided tape, stick together the two 8cm sides to create the body of the teacup. It will only need sticking togehter the 6cm, the bottom 2cm now will be folded inwards.
- Stick some double sided tape to the two flaps you folded at either end of the small 2cm strip of card, use these to make a handle, sticking one flap to the top and one to the bottom of the teacup body. You will need to round the card a little and help shape it with your fingers.
- Now stick the teacup body to the saucer, you could use either a glue stick or double sided tape.
- Decorate the teacup and saucer. You need to print the template from the link above and then cut out one of the six colour choices for your heart with the scripture text. You can use this as the focal point of the decorations. You could use some decorative colourful tape on the handle, colourful stickers or whatever you feel is suitable.
- Fill with a small plant, some sweet treats or whatever you think of.
