• Making a cross out of palm fronds
  • We do this craft every year in our Sunday School classes, but you might have to get a little creative with creating your own palm fronds with scissors and green paper.  Just make sure your palm frond is as long as your paper allows for... try going diagonal!  
  • Once you have a long, skinny palm frond, follow the instructions listed here: https://www.catholicicing.com/how-to-fold-a-palm-cross-in-10-easy-steps/
