WHAT YOU NEED playdough playdough tools string (ribbon, yarn, cord, etc) other beads (pony beads, etc) template/pattern of cross (paper or cardboard) WHAT YOU DO Roll or pat the dough out flat.. Draw a cross shape, or use the template/pattern to trace around. Use a pencil to make a hole in the top section. (that is for the string or ribbon later) Air dry or bake, according to the recipe. Write your name and date with permanent marker on the back. Add a string or ribbon. Wear the necklace or hang on doorknob.

HANDY TIPS Many young children will want to make two pieces and stick them together, rather than cut out one solid shape. This can work fine, but the pieces will probably come apart from each other, so you might need some glue, once the pieces are dry. This project is very adaptable. You can use small crosses for necklaces, or larger ones for a doorknob decoration. You can also decorate the crosses by sticking beads or small shells onto them, or just leave plain. Have several colors of dough available, so everyone can choose their own.
