“Spoon / Fork Cross” Craft

Start by cutting your forks.  Measure different cuts for each one, you’ll want (3) the same length, and (1) a lot longer.  I don’t want to give inches, etc., since that will depend on the size of the utensil you are using.  

Now, set the pieces on a backing to glue them together.  I just used a paper towel with some old pieces of cardboard under where I was gluing.  I didn’t want the towel to be a part of my project. 🙂

I started out with the craft glue, but it just wasn’t holding.  I to ran to Lowe’s and bought Loctite, and it worked great!

Next, I used some.”Spellbinders – Media Mixage Circles” for a frame for the jewel in the middle.  Once again, since I didn’t realize that the Craft Glue wasn’t working very well until afterwards, so I used the Loctite here as well.

Insert the “jewel” or ornament you wish to use inside the circle and glue it into place.  Hot glue worked fine for this.

Now I used my glue gun to attach a picture hanger on the back – since I wasn’t able to put nails or screws in.  It holds fine, since the handles aren’t very heavy.

Wait for the cross to dry completely and then you can display it wherever you wish.

I sure hope you like it!  Please take a minute to leave me a comment and let me know what you would do different, or what you would add, etc.  Be sure to tweet, pin, share, etc. – thanks!!
