Christmas
I used the dark green material for background. I bought
the church for just over a dollar after Xmas. And the
candles were also about a dollar for 2 of them. I cut a
rectangle from flashing and drilled three holes in the top.
I think you can see the clear push pins. I used doilies to
cover the metallic silver of the flashing. After I figured
out how to hold the candles and the church on the board, I slept
like a baby! Our pianist was standing with arms folded and
looking at the board as I came to church last Sunday. She
said............I just have to stand here and soak all this in.
This is SO beautiful and so peaceful. Hey, I guess she
liked it.
So I guess
for two or three dollars plus all the other stuff on hand...........I have a
winner.
I have
gotten some good ideas from your site and wanted to share mine!

Christmas
I have a type of bamboo in my yard and when dry is quite
hard although hollow. I cut notches to make the cross and
tied with a piece of leather. I also used bamboo to
fashion the "tree" with plastic poinsettias and draped lights
through the tree too. The Xmas lights on a glittery
garland added so much.
Printed: "Jesus gave his
gift on the tree not under it" with a placemat as the frame.

John 3:16 /
Valentine's Day
The
background is dark green. I cut the heart and circle out of a large piece
of a plastic that is used for making the magnetic signs for vehicles.
That is all I had that big! I used John 3:16 For God
so loved the world..... printed
it, cut the words and taped them on the plastic. On
the heart I glued crinkly shredded paper for baskets. The
border is metallic commercial border. I
thought this would be good for now until after Valentine's Day.

Hearts / Kind Words
I had found a dry erase
heart board, and I used a half of some little kiddie purses along with
some of the jewels included on them. The other hearts were also in the
dollar store, some type of frame I think. To make it fit I turned the
little purse upside down. I used this last fall |
Old doll quilt with pillows
|
I used ideas from your
site and this is my version. It was such fun finding all the items. I
could not find an anchor, so made one of cardboard and covered with a lot
of watered down white glue and scrunched up brown paper bags.

Easter
I used a clock movement
and second hand. Thus "Risen" appears every 1/2 minute. I covered a
check book box and wrote "He is" The box represents the
tomb. The tissue colors
represent "the coat of many colors". Long pins hold it on the
board. At first I just had the clock movement part, and on Easter Sunday
added the "rock" for the emphasis of the rock being rolled away. The hardest part was
getting the tissue paper on the bb. |
Winter
My version of one from
your site. I used quilt batting for the 'snow' Some paper doily parts
for snowflakes. I
had a waterer that was to go on a large pop bottle to water plants
slowly........made the nose. Buttons for eyes and some beads for the
mouth and buttons. This was a huge favorite
with the congregation. Some still recall the snowman!

Patriotic board
for celebration of the 4th of July
I
found all elements at the dollar store. Oops. Now it
is the 1.19 store. The little stars were created to hang.
Little did they know they would be going this way and that on
the BB. I used a plastic tablecloth for the background.
Dollar store item too. |
Ten
Commandments
I made the
roof for the "church" (which is a poster The Ten Commandments) for
Kids from two box ends and added some bulletin board border. I found
some 'children' in my clip art. The cross is a book marker some one
gave me. |
God is Love
BB
current
messages |
I used the
inspiration of Faith Watt's BB in your
site.
Brush
up on your Scripture
I found a
poster for taking care of teeth, plus
the tooth cutouts, dental kit, and
toothbrush from the dollar store. I put
Bible verses on some of the teeth.
Just in time for "candy
time...Halloween"
