| There are many Jacobs ladder crafts out there for this passage, and that’s great, but when reality hits and the dream is over I love how this craft captures Jacobs response. He wants to mark this place as holy, mark the experience and promise with something tangible. The practice of marking things with stones or piles of stones (cairns) is well practiced in many cultures. I’ve used packaging card for this craft but you could just as easily use craft foam, or real stones. Make sure your glue suits your chosen materials. |

Roughly cut round the pieces you need and back them onto thicker card. |
 |
Cut out the Jacob piece. This piece has a dotted line guide as the white border is intentional. |
 |
Fold along the dotted line to stand Jacob up. |
 |
Cut out the stones. You don’t need to follow any lines exactly for these, stones are not exact shapes! |
|
Stack the stones up to make an altar, or a cairn to mark the place as holy. |
