New! Silver Duct Tape 3D Cross Craft for Sunday School
 What you will need: Fun foam shaped cross or fun foam pieces, Shurtape AF 912 aluminum duct tape (You can find this tape at a Lowe's or other home improvement store in the heating and air conditioning section. It costs about $7.00 for 120 yards. It is not Duck tape.), black acrylic paint, paper towels, gems, and utensils to engrave the tape. You can use a ballpoint pen, the end of a paint brush, and the tines of a fork.
How to Make Silver Duct Tape 3D Cross:
 1. Cover the top of the fun foam cross with the duct tape, pressing it down and smoothing it out. (You can cut cross shapes from pieces of fun foam if you don't have a precut one.)
2. Press your utensils down into the tape to make shapes and designs.
3. When you are done with your design paint the entire surface of the cross with black acrylic paint. Let it dry for a few minutes, but not completely. Wipe the paint off the surface of the tape with a folded, damp paper towel. Press lightly so that you don't remove all the paint. You want the paint to remain in the indented areas so that the design shows up better. You do not have to add the black paint. (The cross on the right was done without the paint. The design is harder to see but still effective.)
4. Once the paint has dried thoroughly, you can wipe the surface again to make it shiny.

How to Make Glowing Nativity Bible Cross:

2. Place a small amount of oil (1 teaspoon) into a cup. Use a paint brush to brush the oil over the back of the cross. When you have covered the entire cross with oil use paper towels to soak up any left over oil by pressing the cross pattern between to sheets of paper towels. The oil on the paper will make the paper translucent.
