There are so many beautiful songs about the Cross, expressing love for a mighty Savior dying for the sins of the whole world, and no wonder the Cross has become a traditional home decor item to remind us of the debt Jesus paid for us!
I purchased two wooden crosses some years ago, not quite sure what to do with them at the time, but they were too beautiful to pass up. I kept them in my treasures of future project items. So glad I did, because one came in handy for my Pastor's husband's 75th birthday!
I had found some music scrapbook paper at Michael's and used a permanent tape Glue Glider to adhere the paper to the cross after tracing the shape and trimming it to fit each piece.
After adhering the paper to the cross, I used a gold leafing pen for the center and the edges. You can't tell from the picture, but I also inked the edges with Studio G pigment ink (Michael's).

To complete the project, I sprayed Krylon Clear Finish to preserve it and give it some shine! It turned out to be quite a decorative piece for a godly man who is like King David - a man after God's own heart! he loves music and has begun writing his own music, an awesome gift to be given from the Lord!
May the Lord continue to shine upon you and be gracious unto you as you remember all that Jesus means to we prepare to celebrate on Resurrection Sunday!
Blessings,
