Homemade Cross

• Small piece gold textured vinyl
• Jewelry eye pin
• Glue (Fabri-tac, Grrrip, or tacky white glue work best)
• Gold paint

On the back of the vinyl draw a cross (1" high works well for most dolls) and cut out. Put glue on wrong side. Place the eye pin on the wrong side with the eye just above the top of the cross. Put cross with eye pin onto another piece of vinyl WST with the eye above the edge of the 2nd piece of vinyl. Cut out back of cross to match the front and cut off any excess pin so it doesn't extend below the bottom of the cross. If necessary, paint edges of vinyl with gold paint to match.
