Crosses Made From Sticks and Grass {Easy and Free Camping Fun!!}

This cross is a fun, simple and FREE activity to create at Bible camp, while sitting at a campfire, or on a nature walk. It’s also great for Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha’s Feast day (July 14)

All you need: (all free!!)

• two sticks (one shorter – one longer)

• a long stem of green grass. (about 1 to 2 feet long)You could use twine if you wish.

Carefully tear off the grass blades from the grass stem.

Criss-cross the two sticks so they are in the shape of a cross.

Place the long grass stem behind the criss-crossed sticks. 

Leave about 3 to 4 inches to use to tie a knot when finished. 

Wrap the long end around the criss-cross sticks about 3 times.

Then switch directions and wrap it around the opposite corners 3 times.

Take both grass stem ends and knot them together.

Use a knot like you use when you start to tie your shoe. 

Use this knot two or three times.

Break off the extra stem.

That’s it!

It’s great for bored kids on a camping trip!

Hope you can use this idea!

God Bless!
