Option 1: Scroll
brown paper bags, paper, colored pencils, craft sticks, glue
Gather supplies. Cut brown paper bags into 4" x 8" pieces (one per child). Print copies of “Oh how I love your law! Psalm 119:97” (one per child) so that the verse will fit on the 4" x 8" pieces. Cut the verses out. Make a sample craft.
Give the children each a piece of the brown paper bag and have them crinkle it into a ball and then flatten it out to make it look old and worn. Have them glue the verse to the brown paper and decorate with colored pencils. Glue one craft stick to each end, and roll both ends until they meet in the middle.

When they are finished decorating, have them string the yarn through the holes and tie a knot so that it can be hung from a doorknob.
