DYI Rustic Crosses

I found this idea at the Round Top Antiques Fair.  Of course, they were a little too pricey for me to be able to purchase four of them (two per set); however, I knew could go home and make these.  That’s exactly what I did- and I pretty much knocked it out of the park!  I found a tutorial {HERE} that shows how to put the wood together.  This project didn’t cost me too much since my Mom already had the 4x4 posts; and I didn't have to pay her for them--whhhaaaa?! Yes!  The metal crosses were purchased at Hobby Lobby (on sale, of course) and I got the metal flowers at the Round Top Antiques Fair for just a few dollars.

I gave these away as Christmas gifts, they are durable enough to be outside and pretty enough to be inside.  I really should make a set  for our fireplace.  Oh the never ending crafting to do list …. 

I made two sets, but for some reason I only got pictures of one set.

Hi Haley! I love your crosses they turned out beautiful. I have some metal roses like yours somewhere packed away that I was going to use on crosses for my daughters, but then I forgot all about them. Need to find them (-; can use on another project. Love the rustic paint job.
Thanks for sharing the link to my tutorial! Have a great week!

If you don't mind me asking where you found the crosses and the roses??

Did you paint them and then sand some of the paint off or did you antique them with a stain ?

I need to make one of these for my brother’s grave. He has a wooden cross now that I bought from a carpenter here and after 3 years the finish is coming off. His ashes are buried in a small church cemetery in the mountains beside our grandparents. A wooden cross was perfect for him.
