Anyone that knows me knows that I enjoy sacred art and when my mom showed me how cute and simple these wooden crosses are to make, I knew I wanted to share her making this craft with you.

Have you ever seen anything like this? You seriously will do a double take once you realize it is made out of clothespins.

The possibilities for assembling and displaying these clothespin crosses are endless. Wouldn’t it be a nice addition to an Easter basket?

Crafters could get really fancy with a few extras like sequin, beads, ribbon, and string. And the small ones can be hung with ribbon as an ornament.

I kept mine simple and rustic and hung it in my living room, highlighted in a vintage frame; it’s a special addition to my décor.

This DIY requires only a few supplies and can be made by all skill levels. The basic supplies along with a few design ideas are below.

For an Easter cross, a white ribbon can be draped on the cross. This craft is best left to interpretation so let your imagination and creativity flow!

SUPPLIES:

• 16+ wooden clothespins (stained or natural)
• Aluminum foil
• Cardboard or cutting board
• Hot glue
• Small saw or serrated knife

1. Carefully take each clothespin apart and remove the metal spring.
2. Wrap a cardboard or cutting board with aluminum foil for a mess free surface.
