The Belt of Truth Duct Tape Craft

If you haven’t got your belt, you won’t be prepared for action.

Your kids will know this by the time you’ve taught your Bible lesson on the Belt of Truth.Click here to get the Lesson Outline for the Belt of Truth

Now, help your kids make their own belts.

When they wear these belts, they’ll be reminded of the biblical truth they’ve learned.

And hopefully this Belt of Truth duct tape craft will help your kids remember to use God’s Belt of Truth in their lives, too.

Supplies Needed for the Belt of Truth Duct Tape Craft

Duct tape – You can use colored duct tape. But it’s a lot more fun if you use duct tape with fun patterns like this! {affiliate links}

D-rings – Don’t pay extra for welded ones; D-rings like these will work fine for this craft. {affiliate link}

Scissors – Sarah at Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls suggests wiping down your scissors with a baby wipe before cutting. She says it helps them to cut through the duct tape easily.

Permanent Markers

Craft Prep: Cut the duct tape

You’ll need 4 pieces of duct tape total, cut from 2 different colors of tape.

Cut a short piece from Tape A. This should be 1 inch fat, and approximately 4 inches long.

Cut a short piece from Tape B. This should be about 2 inches fat, and 3-4 inches long.

Measure your child’s waist. Then add a couple of inches to that measurement. Write that number down.

Cut a long, fat piece of tape from Tape A. Make it approximately 2 inches fat, and as long as the number you wrote down.

Cut a long, thin piece from Tape B. This one should be about 1 inch fat, and as long as the number you wrote down.

Belt of Truth Duct Tape Craft Instructions

Step 1: Make the buckle

Lay the 2 D-rings together. Then take the short piece of Tape A and fold it in half around the flat sides of the D-rings, binding them together.

This will become the buckle of the belt.

Step 2: Secure the buckle

Take the short piece of Tape B. Turn it so that it is taller than wide. Lay it sticky side up.

Now lay the buckle onto the piece of Tape B. Make sure the 2 D-rings are still free (sticking out the side). Only the Tape A piece should be stuck to the Tape B piece.

Use Tape B to wrap completely around the Tape A piece.

(See the diagram at the end of the post if this step doesn’t make sense to you! 😉 )  

Step 3: Attach the buckle to the belt

Lay out the long, fat piece of Tape A so the sticky side is up.

Place the buckle on the end of the long Tape A piece. Make sure the 2 D-rings are still free (sticking out off the end). Only the Tape B wrapping should be stuck to the long Tape A piece.

Step 4: Strengthen the belt

Now lay the long, thin piece of Tape B in the middle of the long Tape A piece. This will be the back of the belt.

Step 5: Finish up the belt

Fold the 2 sides of the long Tape A piece down onto the long Tape B piece. There will be a thin strip of Tape B that still shows in the middle of the belt.

Use scissors to round off the end of the belt (the opposite end from the buckle) so that it will slip through the buckle easily–and pant loops, too.

Step 6: Write “Truth”

Turn the belt over so that the Tape A piece shows. Use a permanent marker to write “TRUTH” on the belt.

Challenge the kids to use their belts as a reminder of the Belt of Truth every time they wear them!

This craft was inspired by this post. And I’m very grateful to Sarah at Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls and Randi at Dukes and Duchesses for their clear tutorials on how they made similar belts. In fact, if you need more visuals for this craft, I recommend visiting Randi’s site because she included step-by-step photos, too.

And happy teaching! 🙂

    Hello,
    Our youth are studing the armor of God. I would like to know what age groups are your target?

      Hi Jacqueline! Thanks for your comment. I was thinking primarily of elementary age kids when I wrote my materials on the Armor of God, but the content of the lessons is very solid so you could definitely use them with older youth! And the majority of the crafts & activities could be either used as is, or easily adapted for an older group, too. 🙂
