Stations of the Cross: Part II
This craft is not for the faint of hand! The cutting is definitely an adult task … or at least an older child with steady hands and an eye for detail. Last Thursday, I made it through the cutting and piecing/layering of 6 stations. Graham placed the description on each station, while I positioned the Roman numerals. I was able to complete the cutting and layering of the last 5 stations last Friday morning.
On Tuesday afternoon, Angelina, Zeke and Graham helped apply the rock (obsidian, coral quartz & amethyst quartz). Zeke and I took turns applying the glue. The kids lost interest by the time the stations were dried fully, so I glued the pipe cleaner hangers on the back of each.
We are DONE! Just in time to use the stations during Lent.

Dear Suzie,

Congratulation,s they will be a treasure fo rmany years
God Bless
These turned out beautifully, Suzie!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize HOW many layers there are! They are beautiful!! Can't wait to see them in person - maybe we can pray them together along with the Chaplet at # tomorrow? (is that asking too much of the kids at a playdate?? ;)
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it wouldn't take up much playdate time ... afterall that's why I made them ... to do the stations on Fridays. The kids would enjoy doing it together. Of course, they still need to be hung!! But that shouldn't take long, even if it doesn't get done til tomorrow morning.
those came out wonderfully, suzie!
ReplyDeleteand the pictures are great quality.
Hello Suzie! I just popped over from the comment you left at Catholic Cuisine. I don't think I've visited before... You have a beautiful blog and family!
ReplyDeleteI have this kit sitting in my school room waiting to be put together and now I am thinking I might just save it until next year! It looks like a LOT of work! :)
Yours turned out beautiful!
