Here is our attempt at making a Liahona.  I scoured the internet for help.  Found the elaborate to the simple...Here is what we came up with for our Seminary Room.  We used two clear bowls from the dollar store, some tape, some cardboard, spray paint and nuts and bolts.  Here is how it came out.

I also created mini Liahona's for each kid with fishing bobbers.  I hung them and spray painted them.  I had the kids decorate them with sharpies and then write a direction they wanted to go with their life.  ie: goal.

In the pic they are upside down.  I didn't take a pic of them decorated but they came out cute.  I loved reading the goals the kids had thought of for themselves.


Here is the color spray paint I used if anyone is interested.
