Didn't have time to make much for Easter only being home from our trip for a few days. But I thought I would share my Dollar Store clothes pin cross I have hanging on the front door. It measures almost a foot in length.
I began by separating the metal clip from all the pins. Then I laid out the pattern I wanted to glue together and started in the center glueing them using white glue. I glued the pieces together and laid them on my work table to dry. It took awhile to make each arm of the cross. I did the short ones first, then the top and bottom.
The next day I lightly stained the wooden cross with brown distress ink. Then cut ribbons and hot glued those to each arm of the cross. Next I made ribbon loop for hanging and hot glued that to the top back side. I then added the light lavender bow with hot glue. Next I added some crepe paper flowers I made that where left over from another project and a few sprays of pearls.
This project would cost under a dollar to make depending on the size you decide to make. More time than money.
I think 12" is probably as large as I would make this cross or it might get too heavy. I thought this was a good size for the door.
Happy Crafting!
