Wrap a yarn cross and frame!

"And he was saying, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!" Luke 23:42

       Gather just a few craft supplies for this project: yarns, wooden crafts sticks, scissors, and white school glue. Cut two of the four craft sticks approximately 1 1/2" shorter. Round off the ends to match all of the others similarly. Glue these four tongue depressors together to shape a frame. Let this little wooden frame dry completely before wrapping the yarn cross across it's sides.

Left, the cross is wrapped across the frame sides.
Right the completed yarn frame and cross finished.

       Tie and secure the beginning of the yarn around one end of the frame and then wrap one side of the cross four or five times and secure the end with a knot or glue. Do the same for the other sides of the frame to shape a cross in the center of the wooden frame. Now wrap the sides of the frame and squeeze a bit of glue onto the surfaces as you go. Twist a accent of yarn around the center of the cross.

Left the sides of the frame are cut. Center, the ends are shaped to match.
Right, the frame is allowed to dry completely after gluing the ends
together in the pictured shape.
