How to Make Blueprints for Under $1 – Maker Fun Factory VBS

Good afternoon!  I am so excited to share with y'all the cheapest, easiest blueprint-making-method ever!  Carrie A. (who is part of our Maker Fun Factory facebook group) made these phenomenal (and huge) blueprints for pennies.  They are large and will be a quick, easy way to decorate spaces (think hallways, stairwells, on stage, etc).

Group uses the NLT bible for their curriculum.  I'm usually okay with this translation {it's supposed to be one of the best for readability}, but there are times where I'm not a fan.  This year's Maker Fun Factory VBS bible verses are a prime example.  There are times where this NIV-raised lady just needs to hear the phrase "fearfully and wonderfully made".…Read more …

Group sells Bible Buddies, but I would rather spend our money elsewhere, so I designed DIY Bible Point Buddies!  They're cost-effective and super easy to make.  You could choose to hand out DIY Bible Buddies that either have the bible verses on them or the daily bible point.  These have the bible point on them.  I shared some earlier in the week with the bible verse.

VBS Registration Form {with free template}

VBS Registration Form {with free template}

At our Vacation Bible School, parents fill out one registration form for…Read more …

The "Easy" VBS theme {emphasis on the quotes there - Group calls it easy, not me - haha!} is Maker Fun Factory: Created by…Read more …
