10 Craft Ideas to do With Apostle Paul Coloring Pages
Once those finished coloring pages start to pile up, these easy and affordable crafts are perfect for putting them to imaginative use!
1. Paul's Missionary Journey Map
Create a personal map of Paul's travels! On a large piece of poster board, draw a simple map of the Mediterranean region. Cut out several of your colored Apostle Paul figures and glue them along the routes of his missionary journeys, connecting key cities with string or yarn. This visual aid brings his incredible travels to life.
2. Scripture Scroll of Paul's Epistles
Make a decorative scroll inspired by Paul's letters. Cut a long strip from a brown paper bag or construction paper. Glue a colored Apostle Paul cutout at one end, then write a favorite Bible verse from one of his epistles on the scroll. Glue the short ends around two craft sticks or dowels, then roll it up to save and display.
3. Armor of God Shield
Craft a shield representing the Armor of God, as taught by Paul. Cut a shield shape from sturdy cardboard and cover it with aluminum foil. Glue a colored Apostle Paul cutout in the center, and use markers to label the different pieces of the armor (e.g., “Shield of Faith,” “Sword of the Spirit”) around him. This reminds us of his powerful teachings from Ephesians 6.
4. Tentmaker Workshop Diorama
Build a miniature diorama of Paul's tentmaking workshop! Use a shoebox as the base, decorating the inside with construction paper to create walls and a floor. Cut out a colored Apostle Paul figure and glue him inside, perhaps with small fabric scraps to represent his work. This craft highlights his self-supporting ministry.
5. Damascus Road Blinding Light Art
Recreate the dramatic scene of Saul's conversion on the Damascus Road. Glue a colored figure of Saul (before his name change to Paul) onto a piece of dark construction paper. Around him, glue torn pieces of yellow and white tissue paper, layered to radiate outwards and symbolize the blinding light he experienced. This captures a pivotal moment in his story.
6. Shipwrecked on Malta Scene
Illustrate Paul's shipwreck and time on Malta. On blue construction paper, glue a brown paper cutout for an island, representing Malta. Cut out a colored Apostle Paul figure and glue him onto the ‘land.' Add cotton balls for waves and a small pipe cleaner shaped like a snake near his hand, referencing the viper incident from Acts 28.
7. “Go Ye Into All The World” Finger Puppet
Transform your colored Paul into an interactive missionary puppet! Glue a colored Apostle Paul cutout onto a piece of cardstock and cut around the figure, leaving a small rectangular tab at the bottom. Cut two finger holes into this tab. Now you can use your Paul puppet to tell stories of spreading the Gospel to new places!
8. Paul's Prison Letter Frame
Create a frame celebrating Paul's perseverance in prison. Cut a square or rectangular frame from cardboard. Decorate the frame with “chains” made from looped yarn or gray construction paper strips. Glue a colored Apostle Paul cutout into the center of the frame, and write a short, encouraging quote from one of his prison epistles onto the frame.
9. Apostle Paul “Sword of the Spirit” Bookmark
Craft a bookmark shaped like the Sword of the Spirit! Cut a long, thin bookmark shape from cardstock, tapering one end to resemble a sword blade. Cut out a colored Apostle Paul figure and glue him near the hilt. Decorate the “blade” with a metallic marker and write “Sword of the Spirit” along it, making a useful and inspiring item.
10. Corinthian Pillar Art
Design a decorative pillar featuring Apostle Paul, reminiscent of the ancient architecture he encountered. Cover an empty toilet paper roll with white or cream construction paper. Cut out a colored Apostle Paul figure and glue him onto the pillar. Use a gold marker to add decorative details to the top and bottom, evoking the grandeur of cities like Corinth where he ministered.
