I am super excited about this! I saw this idea on Pinterest, but it had no instructions or any detail. I just gave a Come Follow Me lesson on "Why is Temple Marriage Important?" I gave this as my handout, but this would be cute for girls camp too. I purchased two, 2 1/2" x 8ft* board from Home Depot for $2.12 each. And some sparkly tuelle from Hobby Lobby for $2, so the whole project cost me $7 and it made 13 temples! For the middle part of the temple I used bead board. I had some left overs from a different project. So if you don't have bead board, then that is where it will get spendy.
In order to create this, you need a band saw. The right tools are EVERYTHING! I cranked everything out in about 2 hours! Then, I just glued the pieces together with wood glue, and painted it. Voila! It was SUPER easy, just takes time and skill. If you are interested in the template, send me a coment and I will upload them. The project is about 5"w x 7"h.
*After doing this, I may have upgraded to a 6"x 8' piece of wood, that way, I could have made the back two steeples in one piece instead of two, then I could have glued the middle bead board piece on top.
This is 'Simply' Awesome. Would you mind sending the template. Our President pinned it to our group YW board. Thank You for sharing your wonderful idea.

DeleteSuper fabulous idea. I love it. Thanks for sharing your awesome creation.
ReplyDeleteDid you use individual pieces of bead board that interlock, or did you use the sheet of bead board? Does that makes sense? Thinking this would be a great craft to do at Girls Camp. Thanks for the fun idea!!
ReplyDeleteI used the sheet of bead board just because I had it left over from another project, though I think any way would work.
DeleteWould you mind sending me the template. I want to use this for girl's camp this year! Thanks so much! shelbythatcher@gmail.com

DeleteI found bamboo garden edging at the 99 cent store that were pointed and took it all apart. I painted them white, glued them then tied white ribbon on each. Sooo easy. Each edging piece made about 10 temples.
ReplyDeleteThank you Houston Family for the extra idea. Awesome!
DeleteCould you send me a picture of the bamboo garden edging you used.
