You might need to use tools that require adult supervision, such as glue gun and scissors. If so, these can be replaced by textile glue and safety scissors. Make sure you ask your parents some help.

Celebrate your Irish heritage and St. Patrick’s Day by making this pretty Celtic Cross. Made from recycled materials, it can really be considered “green”!

What you’ll need:

  • Thin cardboard (cereal box, pad of paper, etc)
  • Liquitex Basics Gesso or white acrylic paint
  • Green and yellow acrylic paint
  • Gold glitter glue
  • Square green craft jewel
  • White craft glue
  • Scissors
  • Paint brush
  • Pattern

How to make it:

  1. Cut out pieces from cardboard using pattern.
  2. Place pieces on a piece of newspaper and paint all with one coat of Gesso or white paint. Let dry.
  3. Paint the circle piece yellow and the other pieces green. Let dry. Repeat with another coat if needed.
  4. Paint a layer of gold glitter glue onto the yellow circle. Let dry.
  5. Glue the cross together, three short pieces and the top, long piece as the stem. Glue cross onto circle, centering the circle in the mid-points of the cross.
  6. Glue the craft jewel to the center of the cross.
  7. Squeeze gold glitter glue onto the end of each of the four cross pieces (see photo).
  8. Let dry completely.

Tips:

  • Gesso is a craft medium or surface preparation for acrylic and oil paints and can be found in the art and oil painting section of your local craft store.
  • To eliminate a few steps and make this a quicker project, use green and yellow craft foam or construction paper instead of painting on cardboard.
  • If you don’t have glitter glue, you can use regular gold glitter by sprinkling it onto the yellow circle after painting on a layer of white glue.
