How to Make Scrabble Easter Crosses

       The thrift stores are packed thanks to the Konmari craze! 

I was there last week and couldn't believe how much stuff there was. As I rifled through the shelves, I ran across these unpainted wooden crosses and I thought they'd be a perfect gift project for Easter. You can find similar products by clicking on the green links. 

I'm hosting Easter and I always like to make a little gift for my family.

The first thing I did was to paint them with a new color I'm trying today called Brook by Fusion Mineral Paint.

Brook looks like a pretty greenish-blue Spring egg so it's perfect for Easter.

As usual, I dry my projects by the fan to speed up the drying process.

When the paint dried I sanded the edges slightly to distress the crosses. 

Next, I grabbed my stash of Scrabble tiles and started arranging Easter words on the crosses. I made a similar project at Christmas time... DIY Scrabble Tree and Cross.

With all the tiles I have, somehow I don't have any "H's" and I always seem to need one! I wonder if you can buy just H's someplace? 

I used hot glue to attach the letters to the crosses then used Fusion Mineral Paint's tough coat to seal the crosses and the letters. 

Next, I attacked another large stash I just acquired... hardware knobs... lots of them! A friend told me about a store going out of business, they were throwing them away so I was there to catch. These knobs, door handles, and about 50 cabinet doors are my future upcycled projects... so stay tuned! 

I added a ring knob to the top of each cross for hanging. 

These crosses took about 30 minutes to make 

and they're going to make great Easter gifts for my guests.
