This DIY craft will give you a fresh door décor update. You may even find you want to make these for a little side income…

Materials and Tools Needed

1 yard of burlap fabric – will have leftover Scrap fabric of your choice – I found a remnant in the clearance section for this project! Newspaper (could use grocery sacks) Thin-medium gauge wire Hot glue gun and glue sticks Chalk Scissors Tool to smooth fabric and hot glue (and not burn your fingers!) – I use a pry bar. Cost = less than $5!

Directions

Fold your burlap fabric to create 2 layers. (You will want 2 identical shapes.)
Using chalk, draw your design onto the fabric.
Cut out your cross shape. You should be cutting 2 layers of fabric.
Place your scrap piece of fabric on top of the cross, and cut into the same shape, leaving about 1/2″ to 1″ from the edges of the burlap cross. Note: You can piece this together if needed. I applied a bow to cover the pieces where they met.
Hot glue the fabric cross to the burlap cross, and press down with a tool or towel to seal.
Flip the cross over, so your front is on the bottom.
Place hot glue around the edges, little by little, and place the 2nd burlap cross down, sealing the edges.
Fill with crumbled up newspaper as you go, making sure to add newspaper to all areas before hot gluing and sealing everything up.
Apply a large dot of hot glue in the center of the cross and add a bow. I just cut a piece of burlap ribbon, and used scrap pieces of the same fabric and twine to tie the bow together.
Push your wire through the tops of the cross, and bend the ends around a marker to create the swirled look.
Hang and admire!

Pretty easy, right? Round up the supplies, print these instructions, and make your own DIY burlap cross door hanger!
