Twig Cross

Twig Cross - Funeral Design

1. We had to go to the woodland area of bishop burton college to collect twigs of different sizes and shapes.




twigs that I got.






2. Once you have all the twigs you need sort them out so you have all type of sizes start placing the long ones in the for the centre and the small ones for the cross itself,

 


the start of the cross.

3. Once you have the cross base where you like it you can use wires to hold it in place.
  Once you have wire all the piceces together and cut off extra wire and push it down to hide it.

the final cross

4. Get your calla lily and wrap about 2in up the stem in the wire and trim it this stop the stem curling up when out of water to long it need the stem cutting under the wire.

5. Once you have done all this on all the  calla lily's you can start to weave the calla lily's in the cross fixing them in the same way as you did the twig's I was trying to get the a line down the centre of the cross.   This is the final design.
