Bible Journaling has become a popular trend. Now doodling and taking notes in your bible quickly become mini works of art with stylish faith rub-ons, stickers and colored pens. Faith-inspired rub-ons and stickers come in a variety of inspirational words, phrases and drawings. My favorite bible journaling idea is using the black and white rub-ons that look like you drew the image or word right on the pages without having to be an artist or master of calligraphy.
These Books of the Bible Tabs are fun and colorful and makes quickly finding a book in the bible easy! Each book is clearly defined by attaching the tabs directly to the first page of the book. To make this, adhere the self-adhesive tabs to your bible pages in a staggered pattern on the intro page of each book of the bible and folding it around itself. This would be a great addition to a youth bible so young readers can quickly learn the books of the bible and be able to identify where they are in the bible.
Decorate the blank pages in your bible with Bible Journaling Rub-Ons. These are easy to apply to the bible's delicate pages. Cut out the art, remove the backing, place it on the page where you want it and hold it in place as you rub all over the image with the included flat wood stick. Mix and match a few different art and word elements to create the feeling you want. Here I wanted my daughter to be reminded that God is with her always as she reads her youth bible. I mixed in a few flower rub-ons and she wrote a few of her favorite bible verses on the page. Her youth bible has blank pages across from every book in her bible, so there were many pages that she could journal in her bible and place rub-ons to decorate with. You could color these in as well, but be sure to carefully use colored pencils as markers will bleed through the delicate pages.
Decorate white canvas journals with American Crafts Texture Stickers, Bible Journaling Rub-Ons and American Crafts Opaque Markers. Get creative and layer the rub-ons on top of the texture stickers and add additional pops of color with the pens. This bible journaling idea would make a fun Sunday school activity.
Add your own touch to this American Crafts Scripture Memory Box by decorating it with floral journaling rub-ons. Inside the box are tabbed sections with scripture cards that you can write your favorite scriptures and file them away according to the theme of the scripture. You can also add rub-ons to the scripture cards themselves. This TRUST word rub-on was perfect for this scripture that starts with the word trust.
Journaling Rub-Ons don't only have to be used on books and paper! Get creative and decorate mini ceramic flower pots with rub-ons! Place a faux succulent plant inside and these would make a perfect gift. Or you could leave them empty and give them as a gift with a flower seed packet inside. The flower pots also come in a pack of 12, so they would make a fun Sunday school activity by having the kids decorate their pots and then actually plant a flower inside them.
