Baptism of Our Lord Shell Craft

In 2011, I posted a shell ornament for the Baptism of Our Lord. In that post, we used real shells. As much as we loved that craft I thought I’d offer another shell ornament for Our Lord’s Baptism which is made from paper. This one is for anyone who does not have the shells to use.

Here is a picture of the completed paper shell craft:

Print the pages from the download above that work best for you:

***Print just the first sheet in this set if you are using real shells

Or if this works better here is three sets on a single sheet:

Cut out the shell, Baptism and Holy Spirit images.

Glue the Baptism image to the shell and glue the dove above the baptism picture. Use the thread and needle to create a hanger for the ornament – Or you can tape a looped string to the back.

Now decorate it with silver glitter/glitter glue if you wish.

A few of my kids added the silver glitter glue around the image of Jesus and John the Baptist. (Sorry, not pictured)
