🖍️ How to make this craft (step by step guide)

Printable instructions are below.

Begin by cutting a cross out of a piece of construction paper (image 1). Use a pencil to make an outline, if needed. Next, fold the cross in half (image 2).

Cut the middle out of the cross (image 3). Cut a piece of contact paper big enough to fit the cross on. Peel the paper and place the cross on it (image 4).

Cut squares of tissue paper in several colors out and place on the contact paper (image 5). Cut another piece of contact paper and place it on the side without contact paper (image 6).

Cut the contact paper off of the cross (image 7). Hang in your window (image 8). We used tape but you can use tacky adhesive or tape a string on.

⭐ Tips for this craft

• Set everything up beforehand. I think when doing crafts with little ones, setting things up beforehand makes the craft go a lot smoother.
• You can use these instructions to make hearts or Easter eggs to go along with your cross.
• Be careful with the contact paper. Go slow so you don’t get bubbles on your cross.
• We used tape to hang ours in the window but you can add a hanger, if you like.
