Paint the craft sticks with acrylic paint before assembling. Once the paint has dried, use hot glue to create a rectangle with the craft sticks. The sides will overlap!

Place a small dot of glue on the back of the wood frame. Press one end of the yarn into the glue dot. Begin to wrap the yarn in a vertical manner to create the base of our cross. Glue the end onto the back of the yarn when completed. Repeat these steps with the yarn in a horizontal pattern to form the top of our cross.
