Fabric & Wood Cross

I had a booth at a small craft fair event today.  I was selling my dad's horseshoe crafts and decided a couple of days ago that I wanted to try to sell something of my own as well.  I came up with these fabric and wood crosses.  I think they are super cute wall art and so EASY to make! I mean seriously,   if I can do it then you can do it!  I started with 2 1" x 10" boards from Lowes that I cut into 12" long sections.  Well my dad cut them but you know what I mean.

I then stained half of them with a Cherry Wood colored stain and the other half with a dark blackish stain called Ebony.

Then I selected 8 different fabric prints and cut 2 strips about 6 inches wide and 14 inches long (give or take).  I would fold each side over about 1/2 inch so the edges of the fabric look nice and clean once attached.  I then flipped the selected board over and stapled the fabric in the center of one edge.  

 

Then I flipped the board back right-side-up and bunched the material in the center of the board at about 2/3 of the way up the board and stapled it.  Then I flipped the board back over and attached the remaining end of the fabric strip.  I attached the 2nd piece of fabric in the same fashion perpendicular to the first strip forming a cross. 

After the cross is formed I super glued a cute flower in the center of the fabric.  Then I attached picture hanging hardware to the back of the board so it can be hung on the wall and VOILA super easy super cute fabric/wood cross wall art!  

They were a hit at the craft fair at $20 each and my older girls each want one to hang in their bedrooms.
