I am back to some frugal home decorating... my fun hobby.
Oh how I love to paint! I can do this while I am on bed rest. I pull up my comfy chair to the kitchen table and go paint crazy.
My mom picked up these unfinished wooden crosses on her last trip to Canton, TX. We LOVE Canton First Monday Trade Days. If you live close and haven't been, go!
She scored all these crosses for $19!
I got busy immediately, this is the one I did for Katelyn's room.
I got busy immediately, this is the one I did for Katelyn's room. She's 13 and a full fledged teenager.
These types of crosses sell for $50 + at boutiques and online. It cost me roughly $4 to make myself.
I use the little acrylic bottles for paint. My favorite is the folk art brand.
Their paint is nice and thick, it covers great.
I did this one for Madeline my 3 year old. Can you tell the difference in my girls personalities?
I have 2 more to finish. One for Will and another one for the nursery.Painting makes me feel so happy!
Brought a little "normal" back to me.

You did a great job on the crosses for your girls:) Nice to see you painting again.
I am so glad you are getting to do something fun! Those are really cute. And your bedroom looks great too!
Those are way too cute!!!! I don't live near Texas but I have always wanted to go to Canton!!
You don't know me from Adam, but I did a google search for these crosses hoping to find a vendor at First Monday in Canton, and I came across your blog. Do you happen to know the name of the vendor where your mom found these? Or at least WHERE at First Monday the vendor was located? Thanks! Amy
these are great!
Happy 4th to you & yours

We were just in Canton on Friday and I picked up a bunch of these crosses to paint!! Such a steal!! And they are sold through a ministry...even better!!
Btw, Blogger Amy, the vendor is Build a Cross and they're out of Louisiana.
is there a way to order those crosses online?
Do you have any additional information on Build a Cross in louisiana? I have tried to locate them online and they are not listed on the canton vendors and I am unable to find any info when googling. I would love to buy some of these crosses asap. thanks for sharing your find.

Howdy, Jen! I would love to know how to contact that vendor that sales the crosses in Canton. Do you have any idea? I have seen several people ask, but no one has posted a definite "yes or no" that Build a Cross was found! Thanks.
