Make your Jesse Tree
Each day of Advent, read a Bible story about someone on Jesus’s family tree. Then hang the Jesse Tree ornament that symbolizes the story on your Jesse Tree. (You can also read daily family devotions or personal devotions that reflect on these stories.)
There are a variety of ways to make your Jesse Tree. Here are a few ideas.
- Choose a tree branch without leaves that has a main branch with lots of smaller branches attached to it. The tree branch should be about two to three feet long. Place the branch in a bucket of dirt or rocks and cover the bucket with green fabric, felt, or paper.
- Cut a tree with branches from brown felt. Glue it to a piece of green felt, 24″ x 36″. Glue on small wooden pegs to hang the ornaments. Or attach Velcro® to the backs of the ornaments for attaching to the felt Jesse Tree.
- Make a mobile using a tree branch. Use fishing line to hang the branch from the ceiling. You’ll need to make sure the symbols are balanced when you hang them on the branch so that the branch will remain level.
- Just use a Christmas tree. A small tabletop or standing tree can make for a great Jesse Tree. You may even have one in your storage room already!
