Everyday Crafting: How To Make A Clothespin Cross

[@bernicesummerton9636]

These crosses are beautiful. I am very glad I came across this video. I will be making some of these for Christmas this year (2024) I see that most of the comments are from 4 years ago, but as they say, better late than never. 🙂 Thank you for leaving this video on here to share with us. I actually just bought some bamboo clothespins that are larger than the normal ones for this reason. I think they will also look great being a bit bigger in size. Thanks again. ✝️🙂

[@deannahullett7337]

Your good I will make with my great grandbabies.Thank you.

Hi 👋 I have been looking to buy some crosses for the wall hanging and outside in the garden. But they are so expensive 😫 I'm a stay at home dad looking after my two daughters and my wife works. I found you videos last night and it looks easy enough even for me to do with clothes pins. So I'm going out to buy pins in a moment and make some. Thank you for you very informative slow enough for me do the same. And I have subscribed and thumbs-up 👍 it just fantastic 👏 thank you we will be doing crafts today. 😃

[@ThisSouthernGirlCan]

Thank you so much! I made a really pretty cross out of ceramic coasters, but you could find some sealed tiles at home improvement stores that would work really well outside too 😄 kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5SmgHSZoJiBabs

[@elisepelletier9474]

Very cool! Remember making crosses and other objects with burnt match sticks. Thanks for the memories!

[@AnneWebster15]

I love this. I am thinking of doing this as a craft for Church Camp. I am considering using colored clothes pins for mine. Less mess since we will be out in the woods. Also I am going to pre assemble most of this because of time. I like the shorter cross as well as the longer. Might do the shorter for camp. I am also considering colored craft sticks to put in the middle. Glue them on the back and it would make it pretty. It is pretty as is too.

[@blessedandfree9537]

do the colored ones have the removable metal part

[@cynthiahillan4393]

Thank you! My granddaughter will enjoy making this with me!

[@Remyboyandhismommy]

These would be nice to make for Easter as gifts.

[@caroleshelnutt2780]

Amber, I will save this video with all of my other ThisSGC videos of things I want to make. I love that you take your time in showing some of us slowpokes how to make great diys. Your sense of humor and southern accent always make your channel so enjoyable to watch. I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. I pray The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious into thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. Numbers. 6: 24-26

[@reviewsontherun4253]

That was the fastest craft I think I’ve done! Thank you for the easy instructions. I always thought was going to be more complicated.

[@rhiannavalentin6627]

I really like this cross,I will make this for sure. You explained it so well. Thank you for sharing

[@rosied9098]

Never seen this cross before. Real cute. Thanks for sharing.

[@debralynn6641]

OF YOUR CROSSES... THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING... MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS AND MAY HE BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA... THANKS AGAIN... MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL...

[@margemccarthy9672]

Wonderful it’s great can’t wait to do it. Thanks for sharing

[@nancydrury532]

Thank you...Wish I had been able to see you paint the cross and see it hanging to see the size...Your crafts are always amazing and I enjoy you tutorials...you are an excellent teacher...

[@harrietmanuelito1703]

Made one! I rewind your video so many times. Love it😊 thank you

[@sandrarobinson6106]

I showed my cousin how to make this from just a picture... then went and found your site... OMG... awesome... I tagged her in and told her to subscribe to your channel... She is a beginner Krafter... :) wished she lived here... near me but she lives.. 7 hrs. away... but I did.. copy and paste the site to my kraft site for not just her but others to see how it's done... Thanks again.. you're still amazing... Thanks.... :) God Bless..

[@Angela152half]

I need to make some of these. Very nice addition to any cross display.

[@robinhudson6991]

Love! Love! Love! I was looking for something to go on my dads grave, I can e6000 this and water proof it and done! Thank you!

[@patl2996]

Robin Hudson I probably should’ve used e6000 also. I think I used too much hot glue and the bottom didn’t line up 😞

[@veronicarocha3228]

Great idea I am going to do it for my daddy's grave too*;0)

[@angievance8538]

That cross is beautiful you come up with so many unique staff that is why I love watching your videos because you explain and tell people how to do it instead of rush through it like you said you done a great job on this keep up the good work

[@etaraz91]

I made one. Came out good . Thank you for sharing

[@jeanettecliett7121]

Enjoyed your video. Love the cross. Thanks for sharing 🤗❤️

[@olderendirt]

I love this. My pastor and his family just bought their first home and I may have to make them one. I don't like the scorched look either. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!

[@susanholloway7883]

I agree with you about the scorched look. I imagine the smell of burned wood would tend to linger also. I can see maybe staining it for a darker look or maybe putting a battery operated candle be hind it so light shows through the holes.

[@olderendirt]

@@susanholloway7883 It would be very pretty with a light. Great idea!

[@melanychairez9097]

Awesome cross, Love Love it !! I'm going making one ❤

[@augustllee728]

You crafts never cease to amaze me! Thanks for sharing.

[@oldfolkiedulcimer]

I love this and being a displaced southern gal myself, I just loved hearing my kinda accent! One suggestion that I would offer would be to mention that if you use hotglue, it needs to be via a gun that makes the blue very hot! I heard about this craft from a friend who failed at her attempt and learned that she used a mini glue gun so that the blue wasn't hot enough. Thank you for sharing this craft.😁

[@oldfolkiedulcimer]

Stupid auto correct, "blue" should be GLUE!

[@cynlee8171]

Hello Amber, I have made a Cross out of clothespins before but your's is so much more beautiful. Looks as though I will be making your's as well. I do a surprse gift to my elderly neighbor every once in a while (her family doesn't live around here), and I think she will enjoy this. Thank you very much for sharing this ♥

[@laurafesmire4081]

Ty. Just made it. Watching you and Lola good. Instructions very simple ~N~ good timing between frames. Way to go. I love how mine turned out. ❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@twostepgirl1]

Thank you so much for the idea. You're so right about everything old is new again. I have never seen these and can't wait to make one, or two...…. Hope you're having a wonderful Holiday Season and have a wonderful and Happy New Year. Love your videos so much.

[@susanowens2133]

These are just beautiful!! I have never seen these before. I am going to try to stain with brown paste shoe polish. Will let you know how it comes out! Thanks! Around Christmas, would be pretty to put so kink of clear on and then gold or silver glitter!

[@denrich5796]

Just lovely! Have you ever tried this with the mini clothes pins? Wishing you a blessed Christmas and joyous New Year.

[@lisayoung6971]

I was wondering the same thing, using the mini clothespins. I tried, but I think my glue gun puts out too much glue. And you have to be very gentle. But, Amber have you any suggestions?

[@loubolton9175]

I love watching your diys!! but this one of the cross is just beautiful. i remember these when i was little so glad you shared it!! hope you and your family have a merry christmas

[@christinewright6833]

Hi! I've been watching what feels like millions of Christmas DIY videos and this is my absolute favorite!! Thank you for your videos. I always look forward to seeing them. You're always so enjoyable to watch. Maybe because you always laugh? Something about your voice is so relaxing to hear after I've had a horrid day... Like today. And you are now my most favorite person after hearing you use the word "wonky". Lol I thought that I was the ONLY one who did!! Lol I hope that you and your family have a VERY Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year!!! Chrissy

[@lindathompson8620]

Hi Amber You always seem to amaze me with all your projects. Because everything you do is always beautiful. So thank you again for being my best teacher. Merry Christmas to you and your little ones. God Bless you all.
