The directions are a little sparse here. Are we covering the front and back of the cross? What is left that will need to be trimmed? Is it necessary to use the sand paper to "clean up the edges"? I recently views a project using the similar materials but none of these directions were included. Any one complete this project yet?

What better way to end a vacation bible school session than to create a cross that each person can personalize. The idea is simple but can easily be adapted to have each person create something that speaks to themselves. Cost effective also.
