How to Turn Your Christmas Tree into an Easter Cross

Learn how to make a wooden cross for outside by cutting down your Christmas tree and making it into an Easter cross. This project is easier than you'd think! Get the whole family involved in this project, and simply tackle it over a Saturday. Dad can work on cutting down the branches while the kids carry them into the yard waste. What's left is the base of your wooden cross. This is the perfect decoration to place in your yard or on the dock as Easter approaches. Drape it in purple during Lent and white when Easter comes.
