Celebrate Easter with Craft
The best crafts for making crosses and Resurrection Gardens. Choose whichever one bests fits your message and your available materials.
Glue, paper, scissors.
These cross crafts are the simplest kind because they require so little equipment. The paper ranges from card to tissue paper but is not stuff that will be hard to find.
The ‘stained glass’ cross
This can of course work the other way round with the tissue paper as a background in a frame and a cross silhouette on top. If you don’t have tissue paper white printer paper and highlighters can have a similar effect.
Colourful cross background
Super simple and yet very pretty.
Pop up cross card
Either of these methods for making a pop up card can be used with a cross shape.
A little bit STRINGY
Using string, wool or thread as the main crafty element.
Framed wool cross
This simple craft is the first one on this page fits this category but there are other cross crafts worth looking at.
Sewn paper plate cross
Definately on the more complicated side but the set up is something that could be done with kids or beforehand and it would be great for practicing fine motor skills.
Splash of colour
Negative space cross
Tape a cross shape on paper and then colour over it with paint, pencils or crayons. Washi tape will leave your paper intact, but isn’t always the most waterproof - experiment to see what works.
Miscellaneous Materials
Lollipop stick and beaded pipecleaner crosses
