Craft a Passion Cross for your room...

"Whoever does not carry his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple." Luke 14:27

       Children can assemble and decorate fun and easy crosses to hang in their bedrooms or classrooms using just a few simple materials: tongue depressors or Popsicle  sticks, acrylic paints, yarn, and white school glue.

Left, two tongue depressors cut and glued together in the shape of a Passion cross. Right, decorated wooden crosses made from yarn, paint and and tongue depressors.
Directions:

  1. Cut down one of the two wooden craft sticks to a shorter length, to shape a Passion cross from the materials. 
  2. Round of the square tip to look similar to all of the other ends.
  3. Use white school glue to attach the parts as seem above in the photo. Let dry.
  4. Now attach a yarn loop to the back side of the cross with glue. Let it dry.
  5. Paint and decorate your cross just the way you like it.
  6. Students may alternatively wrap the cross made with wooden craft sticks using vibrant yarns like those pictured above.
