🎁 Christmas Craft Countdown – Day 30 (December 8)

Craft: “Snowflake Prayer Spinner” ❄️🙏✨

Theme: A beautiful snowflake that spins to reveal different people or things to pray for — a meaningful way to keep Christ at the center of the season.

Perfect for families, classrooms, Sunday school, or personal devotion time!

❤️ What You’ll Need:

• Cardstock (white, blue, or silver)

• Snowflake cutout (paper or foam)

• Brad fastener (paper fastener)

• Circle cutout (acts as the spinner base)

• Markers or gel pens

• Hole punch

• Optional:

  • Glitter

  • Rhinestones

  • Ribbon for hanging

  • Stickers

✨ Directions:

1. Create the Base Circle

Cut a circle from cardstock (3–4 inches wide).Divide it into 6–8 sections like a pie.

Write one item in each section, such as:

• Family

• Friends

• Church

• Our nation

• The hurting

• The lonely

• Missionaries

• “Thank You Jesus”

2. Prepare the Snowflake

Cut or purchase a decorative snowflake from cardstock or foam.Punch a hole in the center.

3. Assemble the Spinner

Place the snowflake on top of the circle, aligning the center holes.Insert the brad fastener so the snowflake spins freely.

Cut a small “window” or opening in one snowflake arm so only one prayer prompt shows at a time.

4. Decorate the Snowflake

Add:

• Glitter

• Rhinestones

• Blue accents

• “Pray” or “Jesus” written on the front

5. Optional: Add a Hanging Loop

Punch a small hole at the top and add ribbon to hang it on:

• A Christmas tree

• A prayer corner

• A fridge

• A child’s room

✝️ Faith Reflection:

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV)“Pray without ceasing.”

Every spin of the snowflake becomes a gentle reminder to lift someone up in prayer — a beautiful way to keep hearts centered on Jesus during the Christmas season.
