Cross Stiffening ✝️

Crochet Crosses, and Cross Pattern

Elegant, lacy, jeweled CROSSES made with various yarn sizes.


...and my cross stiffening adventures on YouTube     
Including this one with John Denver (below).

Crosses where first tested with a half and half glue/water mixture, which works well. 

Secondly tested with 4 cups water to 1/4 cup cornstarch for stiffening, which also worked very well.

๐Ÿ’Ž Some were stiffened with jewels others without. When you attach your jewels, only seems to matter if you used a water soluble adhesive. There was one cross that it would have been better to apply the jewel before stiffening. 

When gifting Jeweled Crosses ๐Ÿ’Ž✝️, why not consider letting the recipient choose the jewel, and maybe even yarn colors, and plank ends.

Drying times varied, based on yarn, and climate.

These varied from half a day, to a day and a half for bulky acrylic cross.

You can view the entire stiffening process on YouTube

Thank you for stopping by.

Best wishes, happy crocheting, and God bless.
