As promised, I have created a tutorial to make a Jacob’s Ladder handout. This can also be used to make a fun card or a child’s toy:
I know this seems complicated, but it’s really not, and it goes pretty quickly once you get the hang of it:
Step 1: Glue 3 pieces of string to the back of the first picture; 1 centered on the top, and 2 on the bottom sides. Take the second picture and glue 3 strings on the front; 2 on the front top sides and 1 centered on the bottom.
Step 2: Flip the picture 1 over face-side-up and pull the strings over the top. You should have 2 strings at the top and 1 at the bottom.
Step 3: Place the second picture face down, top-side-down, over picture 1. There should be 3 pieces of string on the top and bottom, and the glued side should be on the inside.
Step 4: Pull picture 1 strings over edge. You should have 2 on the top sides and 1 on the bottom center of picture 2. Glue strings close to the edge.
Step 5: Snip off excess string. You will use the 3 strands for the next picture.
Step 6: Take picture 3, and treat it as picture 1 – Glue 3 pieces of string to the back of the first picture; 1 centered on the top, and 2 on the bottom sides.
Step 7: Pull strings from picture 2 over, as you did in step 3.
Step 8: Lay picture 3 picture-side-up, top-side-up, on top of picture number 2. Once again, there should be 3 strands on the top and bottom with the glued-side down.
Step 9: Pull strings from picture 2 over picture 3 and glue close to edge. There should be 2 glued on top sides and 1 on bottom center. Snip off excess string to use on picture 4.
Step 10: Glue two strings on top sides of front and 1 string on bottom center of picture 4.
Step 11: Pull picture 3 strings over top of picture. Place picture 4 as you did picture 2 – Front-side-down and top-side-down. Glue strands from picture 3 down. There should be 2 glued on the top sides and 1 on the bottom center.
At this point, check to make sure the Jacob’s Ladder is working. It would be sad to get this far and have the pictures upside down or sideways. 
Step 12: Take picture 5, treating it as picture 1 – Glue 3 pieces of string to the back of the first picture; 1 centered on the top, and 2 on the bottom sides. Pull picture 4 strings over picture. Place picture 5 Front-side-up, top-side-up on top of picture 4. Pull picture 4 strings over picture 5 and glue in place. There should be 1 string glued in the center of the top and 2 on each of the bottom sides.
Step 13: Leaving picture 6 string-free, pull picture 5 strings over picture.
Step 14: Place picture 6 upside-down, top-side-down over picture 5. There should be 2 strands on top sides and 1 on bottom center. Pull picture 5 strings over edge of picture 6, glue, and snip.
I glued quotes and our covenants/blessings on the backs, upside-down, so when the handout gets flipped over they’re readable:
Quote that!
My preschoolder loved it, hopefully the young women will too!:
Complete! And so fun!...at least for a 3-year-old...
Free covenant/ordinance handout quotes/pictures: PDF printable and SVG (which can only be opened in Inkscape, but is editable).
