Learn to draw and cut a crown of thorns for Easter or Good Friday. We used alphabet stickers to finish this sample project. The initialism INRI represents the Latin inscription (in John 19:19), which in English translates to "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews", and John 19:20 states that this was written in three languages—Hebrew, Latin, and Greek—during the crucifixion of Jesus.

| A finished layered paper, crown of thorns. |
- white, black, purple and blue construction paper
- scissors
- white lead pencil
- Capital Letters with sticker backing or cut from paper if you prefer
- white school glue
Directions:
- Fold a piece of typing paper in half, shorter edges together.
- Draw an oval shape. Add thorns to both the inside and outside of the oval shape.
- Cut out the template and open it up to trace around with a white lead pencil on top of the black construction paper.
- staple the edges of two additional layers of construction paper behind the black, one in purple and the other in blue.
- Now cut out the crown of thorns along the white lead lines.
- Layer the three cut-out thorny layers on top of each other with glue onto a lighter shade of blue paper.
- Stick the word "INRI" into the center of the crown of thorns.
