LAST MINUTE EASTER GIFT KIDS CAN MAKE (JESUS DIED TO SAVE ME) MAGNET CROSSES!



My older boys & I decided to make our family a small Easter gift. Our family / extended family gathers together for Easter. We made 1 cross per individual family. Most of my family are not believers so this is a loving way to remind them that Jesus loves them!


How to make:
2 popsicle sticks per cross
I printed out the Jesus died to save Me (HERE)
Painted each stick
Glued them together to form a cross (while drying I put something heavy on it)
Glued the banner on the center of the cross
Then glued magnets to the back (the magnets were from junk mail inserts, etc. - recycled)

  2. Great project for children. I like how you use recycled magnets. Our insurance man always sends us calendar magnets with their promo stuff on them each year with a Christmas or Birthday card. We save these for just such projects. I love when they give them away as promo's at grocery stores too.
