Make an easy beaded cross
It’s that time again for our monthly girl chat link up. This month we’re sharing our favorite quotes to live by. I’ve always enjoyed a good quote and motivational sayings. Sometimes they come at just the right time to give a little pick me up or end up being the perfect caption for an image or social share. I also love how you can find a lot of home decor pieces with quotes on them to work into your everyday living area. When we gave our living room a little refresher I based my whole focal wall off of a piece I found that says, it is well with my soul. I still get so many compliments on it when people come over and it’s one of the simplest pieces, yet the wording makes a statement. Whatever you like to use quotes for, I think we can all agree there are some great ones out there. Here’s a look at some of my favorites… via “Above all else guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” Proverbs 4:23 This scripture has always left an impact with me because when I start to hear things come out of my mouth that aren’t as they should be, in know I need to dig deeper into my time with God and let Him do a work in my heart. via “People are usually as happy as they make up their minds to be” ~Abraham Lincoln I love this one because I think especially in the blogger/influencer world people get way too caught up in what others have or what others are doing. Heck, forget blogging or anything else, life in general. I’ve felt myself holding back on things I want to share because I’m not sure how others will view it. […]

Hi Crafters! Welcome to the first Monday of April and the Designer Crafts Connection Blog Hop. I hope you'll take the time to hop around the blogs using the big blue button on the left of my entry. After reading mine, of course! This time in honor of Easter Week, I have designed Beaded Crosses and a step-by-step tutorial for them. These crosses are made with pressed glass beads (4mm and 6mm) and 28-gauge wire. They are about 3 inches long. But, this is a versatile design. You can also use heavier (22-gauge) craft wire and acrylic beads. This one is about 4 1/2 inches long. So, the whole family can participate! You could go smaller and create one with seed beads on thread. Or, you can go bigger and use larger acrylic beads or large wood beads with plastic lacing or yarn. The smaller ones look nice tied onto a ribbon and used as a bookmark. Or, you can hang them in the window for a suncatcher. Here's how: Cut about a yard of wire and string on three smaller beads, one large bead and three smaller beads. String another large bead on one side and pass the other wire through in the opposite direction. String three small beads on each wire and a large bead on one side. Pass the other wire through the large bead in the opposite direction. Repeat this step once more for three circles of beads. Now we're going to make the arms of the cross. String a small bead, a large bead, three small, one large, and three small beads on on side. Bring the end of the wire down and around and through the large bead closest to the center. Hold the cross in the center and pull the end of the wire to tighten. Repeat for the other side. Add a small bead on each side and one large bead on one side. Pass the other wire through the center of the large bead in the opposite direction. Add three small beads on each side and one large bead on one side. Pass the other wire through the large bead in the opposite direction. Bring both wires up and twist together above the last bead. Separate the wires and make a loop for hanging. Twist the wires around the loop and trim the extra off with pliers or heavy scissors. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. I'd love to know how you used this craft. Please feel free to show it to friends and family. And, please link back to me when you do so. Have a blessed Holy Week and a Happy Easter! Terry
