One of the memory tools for learning the colors of the Gospel Threads is this easy-to-make bracelet.
What you will need:
- A roll of black leather lacing (or a similar material) found at your local craft store
- A bag of heart-shaped beads
Instructions:
Step 1: Cut a strand of the leather approximately 12 inches long and select a white, black, red, green, and yellow bead per child, as well as one additional bead of the student’s color preference.
Step 2: Tie a knot an inch or two from the middle of the piece of leather.
Step 3: String the beads onto the leather in the following order and tie a knot against the last bead.
Step 4: String the final colored bead onto the leather.
Step 5: Thread the other end of the leather through the same bead.
Step 6: Tie a knot on either end of the string.
All finished! You now have an adjustable bracelet that helps kids learn the five “threads” of the gospel.
