Make Your Own Cross

I love crosses! I have been keeping my eye out for 

them at garage sales and stores for the house. A while back, I found out

 that Hobby Lobby sells unfinished wooden crosses.

 So, I decided I would try decorating some.

I made these crosses in my "pre-blogging" era, so I didn't take

 good pictures while making them. The processes was the

 same for both, though. First, I painted the front 

and sides of the cross with spray paint. I painted the turquoise 

one black and the pink one silver so that the sides would 

look nice. Then, I found fabric to decoupage onto the crosses. 

The fabric on the turquoise one was off of a $2 pillow from an estate sale 

and the fabric on the pink one was actually from one of our table 

runners from our wedding. You could also use scrapbook paper instead of fabric.

 After I got the fabric glued on, I trimmed the edges. Then I used super glue 

to attach accessories on them. All of the accessories I used were 

from Hobby Lobby. I found the pearls on the turquoise one from the 

scrapbook department, and I cut the flower off of a 

floral stem. On the pink cross I picked off the little white flowers off

 of a couple of floral stems and the little bird I found by the floral section. 

The crosses were a fun easy and fun project! 

The turquoise one is hanging in our living room

 and I love it every time I see it!
