During (our long and sickly) Spring Break, we perked up to do a special (and easy) DIY project that we will stay out long after our Easter baskets are put away.
Easter {String Art} Cross Plaque
Supplies:
- Piece of unfinished wood (Hobby Lobby $2.50)
- Paint
- Embroidery string
- Small panel nails
- Hammer
After the paint dried, we tapped 12 nails in the shape of a cross into the wood. We did two at the top, four in the middle, two on either sides and two at the bottom.

And we just started wrapping it around the nails going with the shape of the cross. It works best to loop the string around the nails multiples times to get it started. Keep string taunt and wrap away!
This was a super easy project for my kids and they really got into it.
And a simple reminder that He is Risen!

What a fun craft with such meaning. Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE this!
This is great and I think that even a craft-challenged person like me could do it! I’m going to try! 🙂
What a fantastic idea! My oldest son can make this by himself, and it would make a great gift. And I love the cat watching!
Oh! This is wonderful! I’ve been looking for some special things to do for Easter. The kids could do this while I’m reading them the Easter story. I’m going to add this to the list along with the resurrection plant centerpiece you posted last year.
A very fun and beautiful craft!!
Blessings! 🙂
Loved doing these as a kid. Did all kinds of different shapes! Very cool.
I’ve been looking for “non-traditional” Mother’s Day gifts, and I found the perfect idea right here! Thank you for sharing. Angela
Just wondering- what is the size of the wood that you used?
Thanks!
Wondering the same thing. I’d prefer to just cut wood that I already have on hand.

B-E-A-U-TI-FUL!
