Jairus & Daughter (Luke 8) | Craft

 

The moment of a Jairus’ daughter waking is the most dramatic visually of the story. This paper model craft is a nice way of capturing that moment, and even has moving parts so the girl can indeed ‘wake up’ as Jesus commanded her to do.

The updated version of this craft has a much nicer feel – not only are the graphics for the characters and setting improved, there is a decorative table and the much requested inclusion of the Jesus character image. If you are looking for the old version you can find it here.

Jairus & Daughter (Luke 8) | Craft You will need a pair of scissors, a craft knife, a glue stick, and both pages from the PDF. I would recommend printing this on thin card, but it’s not necessary.

For printing in Colour PDF – one page
For printing with NO Colour PDF – one page

Elizabeth kindly put the instructions into a PDF with the pictures: PDF – two pages (Thank you Elizabeth!)

 

Jairus & Daughter (Luke 8) | Craft Start by cutting out the shapes on the instructions page. Try and cut them carefully, the inside of the table can be left solid if you wish.

 

Jairus & Daughter (Luke 8) | Craft Before moving onto the pieces prepare the background by folding along the floor line.

 

Jairus & Daughter (Luke 8) | Craft Cut the 3 slits in the bed shape between the parallel lines, this is best done with a craft knife and can be done before the session if you would prefer.

 

Jairus & Daughter (Luke 8) | Craft Fold the bed along the dotted lines, this can be a little tricky by the slit and scoring may help!

 

Jairus & Daughter (Luke 8) | Craft Glue the pull tab to the inside of the little girls back, that’s the side WITHOUT colour. The markings are clearly visible if you hold it up to the light.
