Starting at the top of the cross, hammer Gold wire nails on top of the image at the points of the cross. Continue around the cross, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart, using the points on the template as a guide.
Once you have outlined the template with nails, pull away the paper leaving the image on the wood.
Starting with the bottom nail, tie a knot of white Embroidery Floss to one nail. Double knot it for security.
Loop the Embroidery Floss around each nail to outline the Cross.
Once the pattern is outlined, loop the Embroidery Floss around each nail in any pattern you like to fill in the cross. Tie off the end with a double knot and trim the loose end.
Proudly display your Cross String Art in your foyer, fireplace mantle or tabletop!
