stretchy material for the shirt), very thin 12" wooden dowel,
drill with small drill bit, acrylic paint (tan, pink, white),
black Sharpie marker, hot melt glue gun and glue
How to Make "Jesus Washes My Sins Away" Wall Hanging:
1. Paint the wooden circle tan or flesh
color with pink cheeks, let dry. Add white for the eyes and
let dry. Draw in the eyes, eyebrows, and mouth with
a black Sharpie marker. Paint two craft spoons flesh color,
let dry, and then draw in the fingers as shown. Paint
the other two craft spoons white or whatever color you want
for the shoes, let dry, and then draw in the details with
a black Sharpie marker.
2. Drill small holes in the shoe where
shoe laces should go. Lace the shoes with embroidery
floss using a needle. Tie the embroidery floss like
you would a shoe.

To
make the figure cut one inch off the end of one of the long
craft sticks. Glue the one inch length to the bottom of the
3 1/2" length. Glue two craft stick for the legs to both ends
of the 1" length craft stick. Glue a 2 1/2" craft stick
to the top of the 3 1/2" craft stick to form the shoulders
leaving 1/2" at the top to glue on the head. Glue the
two arm craft spoons onto the shoulder craft stick.

stretchy material. Make sure you put the top of the
shirt pattern on a fold.

across the front of the shirt.
6. Glue the jeans onto the figure.
Insert the figure head through the whole of the shirt and
then glue the shirt on underneath the arms and the sides of
the shirt.
7. Drill small holes around the top of
the head.
8. Cut the floral wire into 6" lengths.
Insert them into the holes and secure them to the head.
Wind the wire around a pencil to make the hair curly.
9. Glue the 12" wooden dowel to the back
of the head just above the 3 1/2" craft stick.
10. Clip on two clothes pins on each side
of the head to the wooden dowel and the shirt.
11. Tie a piece of jute string to each
end of the wooden dowel so you can hang up the wall hanging.
Use hot melt glue to secure the string to the dowel. Cut 3
- 6" x 1/2" lengths of scrap material and tie one to
each end of the dowel where the jute string is tied and one
to the center of the jute string where the string will be

Comments
about this Craft:
I
printed the saying for the Craft Stick Wall Hanging. I had a
package of colored craft sticks, so we used those for
the house outline. We glued the printout to construction
paper, then cut around the shape after the sticks were adhered.
I had some red yarn on hand, so we taped a hanging loop to the
back with scotch tape. Carole Schaefer
