I figured out how to put my prayers into the box!!! Below is my first DIY tutorial, I'm super excited :)
How to Fold a Sticky Note into an Envelope (Letters to God):
|
Get a colorful sticky note and write your prayer to God on the STICKY side. |
|
Fold it in half so writing is on the inside. |
|
This part is a little tricky. I can never do it evenly, but I think it gives it a little something ;) Fold the top two corners in so they come together in the middle. |
|
Then do the same to the other side. |
|
Fold the top down. |
|
Then tuck the bottom up underneath it. |
|
I like to write "Dear God" as the "address" but you can do whatever you want. |
|
I write the date on the other side and I keep it closed by a small paperclip. I tried using a sticker, but it didn't work as well. Tell me if you have any other ideas. I kind of like the paperclip though. It's unique. |
|
Then all you have to do is stick it into your prayer box, truly praying what you just wrote and "mail" it to God. |
|
Aren't they cute? |
I probably shouldn't have done my first DIY tutorial at 1:30 in the morning, but hey! I was excited... I couldn't help it. I'm not usually this creative. I like the thought of them being letters and then when I drop it in the slot, it's like I'm sending it off. I love it! It's already helping :) Now that you're awestruck at my amazing creativity and really inspired, go make a prayer box! <-- That was a joke by the way. :D But seriously, make one; they're awesome.
P.S. The font I am using makes exclamation points look like "l"s, but I promise I'm not adding random "l"s everywhere, just exclamation points !!! Goodnight :)
Wow i am greatly impressed! Very cool indeed :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!! I'm stealing your creative idea.
ReplyDeleteSo is it like the tooth fairy? He comes and takes the prayer request away and leaves some money in the box? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Naomi and Karen :)
ReplyDeleteHannah, you would. :p You're just jealous I have an imagination :)
