Popsicle Stick Cross Ornaments

It's really as simple as it looks.

I wanted to make an ornament with C that would be easy to reproduce many times to share with friends and family.

He was into it at first but interest quickly diminished.  
We finally have completed crosses after four days of decorating! 

C had a different style each day.  
One he was into dots, another lines, sequins, or a combination of any of the above! 

Materials:
Popsicle sticks
Glue gun & glue
Ribbon/ string/ twine (for hanging)
Scissors
Glitter glue, markers, beads, sequins, other decorating supplies


Using your glue gun, glue two popsicle sticks together to make a cross.

Cut ribbon or string as desired.  Glue to back of cross using glue gun.


Write child's name and date/ year on back.

Let your child decorate as desired!

If you have twine you can also wrap around the middle of the cross, (making an X) to give it a more rustic or finished look.
