Cross Starching ✝️

Crochet Cross Pattern, and Cross stiffening ✝️

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

...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, 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.
