Craft Ideas to Make With Forgiveness Coloring Pages

Crafting with a purpose just got more inspiring with our list of forgiveness-themed projects.

These great ideas are perfect for anyone in need of forgiveness or looking to teach its value.

Grab your forgiveness coloring pages, and let's turn them into meaningful works of art.

1. Forgiveness Footprints

Visualize the steps needed for forgiveness by creating a paper path of understanding and reconciliation.

Select coloring sheets that reflect a journey of healing and fill them with different shades. 

Cut the colored pages into footprints. (Trace around your own feet or draw a simple outline.)

On each cutout, write actions or sentiments that link to the process of forgiving or seeking forgiveness.

Lay these footprints on the floor to create a pathway of peace and invite others to walk along it, considering how each footprint is a step on the journey to forgiveness.

2. Garden of Grace

Turn your colored designs into a vibrant garden display that symbolizes forgiveness flourishing over time.

Color the printable pictures in different colors and cut out flower shapes, like tulips, daisies, roses, and sunflowers. 

Write a different bible verse about forgiving trespasses (Matthew 6:12-14) on each cutout using markers or gel pens. 

Pin the paper flora to a bulletin board with green backing paper to create a gorgeous garden. Label each flower with a quote or thought on forgiveness. 

This interactive display is a great project for Sunday school, serving as a reminder of the beauty in forgiveness and personal growth.

3. Chronicles of Compassion

Illustrate tales of understanding and forgiveness by creating a storybook.

Print a forgiveness coloring page at 50% scale and color in your favorite colors. 

Fold several blank papers in half and glue your colored sheet on the front page. 

Staple along the spine to secure the pages in place.

Write stories or messages inside that echo the theme of forgiveness, incorporating elements from bible lessons or personal reflections.

4. Globetrotting Grace

Make a paper mache globe to show the importance of forgiveness and peace around the world.

Choose forgiveness quote coloring pages and engage in some mindful coloring. 

Mix paper mache paste using one part flour to two parts water, stirring until you get a smooth, glue-like consistency. 

Cover a balloon with pieces of your colored page using the glue mixture, layering until the balloon is fully covered. (4-6 layers work well.)

Once dry, gently pop the balloon, leaving a colorful globe marked with messages of forgiveness and inspirational quotes.

This globe can be placed in a shared space to encourage discussions on forgiveness, inspired by teachings from our Heavenly Father.

5. Scrolls of Second Chances

Extend an olive branch by crafting sentimental scrolls.

After coloring a full page design, write a heartfelt message on the back. 

Roll your page into a scroll (with the colored side on the outside) and tie it with an elegant ribbon.

Exchange these scrolls as a meaningful gesture of asking for or offering forgiveness.

6. Peaceful Page Markers

Create bookmarks for your devotional journals that offer moments of reflection on absolution.

Print a coloring sheet at 25% and fill it with peaceful, calming shades. 

On the back, write messages that have bible verses on the theme of mercy.

Laminate the cutout, punch a hole in the top, and thread a ribbon through it. 

Use your bespoke bookmark in your Bible or journal, reminding you of the role forgiveness plays in your spiritual journey.

7. Forgiving Flags

Send prayers and wishes for forgiveness in the gentle breeze by making a paper flag.

Print an illustration at 50% scale and fill it with vivid colors. On the back, write a prayer, wish, or uplifting message from God that speaks of forgiveness. 

Glue a wooden dowel or stick along the side of your colored cutout. 

Plant your flag in a flower pot by a window and watch it fluttering in the breeze as you practice the power of letting go.

8. Tokens of Tenderness

Design tiny tokens to show your desire to mend fences and offer peace.

Select a coloring sheet that embodies a spirit of peace or forgiveness and fill it with colors that speak to your heart.

Cut your colored page into small shapes like circles, hearts, and stars.

On each token, jot down a message or symbol that expresses a message of forgiveness or a promise of better days.

Hand out these tokens as a small but powerful gesture of your willingness to make amends.

9. Healing Wreath

Display a handmade wreath and spread the message of repentance. 

Print various illustrations at 25% scale, color, and trim to size. 

Glue these shapes onto a circular base, such as a cardboard cutout or a premade wreath. 

Include natural or faux elements like olive branches or small ribbons.

Hang your wreath on a door to welcome peace into your home, or show the circle of trust you aim to rebuild.

10. Kindness Catcher

Make a dreamcatcher that captures kindness and lets animosity slip away.

Select a new coloring page and fill it with colors that soothe the soul. Cut the colored page into strips and punch a hole in the top of each one. 

Make a hoop using wire or a metal clothes hanger. Weave yarn around the hoop to create a web. Tie your colored quotes around the edge.

Add feathers and beads for additional decoration. Hang your dreamcatcher to act as a guardian of positive vibes. Picture it filtering through feelings and leaving only thoughts of forgiveness and peace.
