Terry Wheeler Scarlett on Oct 13, 2016Looks like it's made by 2x4's wrapped in fake garland. Probably in a large 5 gallon bucket or box covered in burlap. Seems simple enough to make and decorate I love it by the way. Good luck.1 marked as helpful Reply

None on Oct 13, 2016You could also use something like chicken wire to form the cross which would make it lighter. Then add the artificial garland and lights. It's a beautiful idea and what a memorable thing for a first year of marriage!Helpful Reply

Sheri on Oct 13, 2016We have a cross similar to this at our church. It is constructed of landscape timbers and covered with chicken wire. The base is an "X" made of wood. We use it at Easter covered with fresh flowers and at Christmas with greenery.Helpful Reply

Susan Bechamp on Oct 13, 2016A framework of chicken wire wrapped in evergreen garlands with mini lights would look good. I would not be too heavy for storage if made to be dismantled easily. Since it would be mostly hollow inside you could add your favorite scented sachets hidden among the garlands. Wire in some pinecones and other decorative bits. Try a tabletop size first to see if you like it. Then go to full size as you work out what you like and what you don't.Helpful Reply

Sandra Allen on Oct 13, 2016I googled it and got tons of ideas, even making small ones with pennies. When you find the idea you want, click on the photo and it will take you to the page. Have fun!! https://www.google.com/search?q=making+crosse...Helpful Reply

Glenda on Oct 13, 2016I would look at Hobby Lobby for evergreen swags (with coupon in hand), possibly even ones with lights attached. Then I would look for a paper maché form as a base. I'd paint it the evergreen color. If they didn't have, you may be able to build one from scrap lumber. Good luck! I'm sure it will be lovely.Helpful Reply

Patricia on Oct 13, 2016As the saying goes, "To each his own", but for me a cross represents the death of Jesus whereas a star represents the birth of Jesus. I just can't wrap my head around a cross at Christmas time unless it is some boughs of greenery, etc. added to a cross that is inside a church or the home. When I see houses with a lighted cross outside as a Christmas decoration, it just doesn't seem to fit....just me....just saying....Helpful Reply

F H Young on Nov 06, 2016Prune the tree back and wrap the more flexible branches that are left around the main trunk. Leave a few branches tied together to make the cross. Use florists tape or braid the branches together. Use leftover branches to make a small wreath. Personally I like the cross tree for Rememberance Day when most Canadians honor the veterans and those who died serving their country. Cover the cross with red poppies.Helpful Reply
