How to Make a Beautiful Hymnal Cross Sign with a Paper Shipping Bag
In today’s Tutorial, we’re creating a beautiful hymnal cross sign using a few things you probably already have at home — a simple paper shipping bag, some sticks, and pebbles.
This project is a perfect example of how Christian crafts, Christian paper crafts, and Christian decoupage crafts can come together to create meaningful, faith-filled home decor using everyday materials.
I’ll walk you step-by-step through how to turn paper into a vintage hymnal background and layer it onto a wooden cross for a rustic, scripture-inspired piece you can display year-round.
If you love creating with purpose and want access to the napkin I use in this tutorial, you can find them inside the Crafting & Christ Club.
