Crochet Cross Pattern, and Cross stiffening ✝️
Elegant, lacy, jeweled CROSSES made with various yarn sizes, and various jewels.
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, or starching, which also worked very well.
💎 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 starching.
When gifting Jeweled Crosses 💎✝️, why not consider letting the recipient choose the jewel, and maybe even yarn colors, and plank ends.
I have had several people prefer them not stiffened, and to attach their own jewels.
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.
