BQJ Tips & Fave Supplies

Our Bibles get a lot of activity as we're flipping through them.

I like to reinforce the edge of the first page of each book of the Bible. This makes it easier to find each book and adds a cute layer of reinforcement, especially if you plan on adding Bible tabs later.

I'm still "moving in" to my Bible that I'm using this year to read through the Bible. I've gradually been adding washi tape as I go.

Over time I figured out a simple trick to help manage the washi tape by using a ruler to help align it to the page. Here's a peek at my process.

Just when you thought you'd figured out a bunch of ways to use washi tape on your #biblequiltjournal pages, you discover another fun project to do with it!

Mary Jo shared this idea with the BQ community recently on a Zoom call, noting she probably saw the original idea on Pinterest somewhere.

Check out this cute Christmas tree she made!

Simply stack up Christmas-y colors of washi tape to build the tree, then add some shimmery squares or stickers. Add a star on top and ta-da! You've got an adorable tree that you can add scriptures all around it.

This would be a fun technique to do with kids and lends itself to a variety of themes!
