Popsicle Stick Easter Cross Craft
If you are looking for Bible crafts for Easter that you can use to teach your child the importance of this day, these popsicle stick Easter crosses make a wonderful craft that are easy to make. They also provide an opening to talk about Easter to your kids.
What You’ll Need:
2 popsicle sticks per person
Hot glue gun
2 inch Styrofoam balls cut in half
Brown markers
Flower stickers
Purple cloth
Green paint or markers
Instructions:
Take the two popsicle sticks and glue them together in the shape of a cross. If you have small kids, do this yourself. Then the crosses can be push down into half of a Styrofoam ball. Kids can color or paint the half or ball green. Kids can color the cross with the brown marker. Once the Styrofoam is dry, add flower stickers around the base within the green part to look like flowers. Cut a 1″ by 6″ piece of the purple cloth. The cloth can then be draped over the cross. Use hot glue to keep the cloth in place once you have it draped on the cross the way you want it.
Stained Glass Cross
This stained glass cross craft is another great Bible craft for Easter and it turns out absolutely beautiful. Here’s how to make it.
What You’ll Need:
2 pieces of construction paper in the same color
An iron
2 nice pieces of wax paper
Shavings from crayons
Scissors
Instructions:
Start out by taking the crayon shavings, in any color you want, and then put them right in between the wax paper that you have. Then the wax paper will need to be carefully ironed, making the crayon shavings melt in between the paper. Make sure an adult does this part of the craft. Then the wax paper will need to have about 10-15 minutes to cool down.
Take one of the pieces of construction paper. Draw a nice cross on the paper, right in the middle. Then cut out the cross. Use the cut out cross to draw the same cross on the other piece of construction paper. Then cut that cross out as well. You’ll have two cutouts shapes in the middle of the paper. Now you are ready to take the wax paper and put it right in between the paper where the crosses have been cut out. Glue the paper together. Where the crosses have been cut out you’ll see the beautiful and colorful designs from the wax paper and crayon shavings. Simply hang on a window and let the sun light shine through and it will look like stained glass hanging in the window.
