How To Craft Our Sacred Layers Cross – A Faith-Filled DIY Project
There’s something extra meaningful about crafting with purpose—and this project is a perfect reminder of why we create: to reflect His story and share His love. 💛
In this step-by-step tutorial, we’re crafting our Sacred Layers Cross Sign—a layered wood décor piece that beautifully blends the manger and the cross, reminding us that from birth to sacrifice, Jesus was always the gift we didn’t deserve.
We’ll walk through:
-
How to apply rub-on transfers and decoupage using the iron-on method
-
How to layer and finish wood elements with Gilding Paint and Gold Shimmer Glaze for a dimensional, glowing effect
-
And tips for working with circular inserts that can be displayed year-round or swapped seasonally (simply add a magnet)!
Whether you hang this piece as part of your Christmas décor or leave it up as a daily reminder of grace, it’s a project that points every brushstroke and bead of shimmer back to Him.
Let’s get started and create something meaningful together.
