DIY Summer Fields Memorial Cross

• The first thing that Susan did to get started with this Memorial piece was to assemble the Cross. The Cross is shipped in two pieces that need to be tied together. She used a Chenille Stem to secure the two pieces together before starting to tie the Bow. 

• Once the Cross was assembled Susan moved onto working on the Burlap Bow. She tied a small three loop Bow for the center of the Cross. She left the tails longer and secured the Bow with a Chenille Stem. Once the Bow was tied she used the same Chenille Stem to attach the Bow to the Cross.

• Next Susan began to add the Florals and Greenery in and around the Bow. She trimmed the majority of the length off of the Delphinium Stem before adding it to the Cross in the upper let hand corner of the Bow. She used Hot Glue to secure it. She also added a few different stems of the Sunflower Bush above and below the Bow.

• Next Susan cut apart the Dahlia Spray into individual sections. She also added those to the top of the Cross behind the Bow.

• Susan then filled in with individual pieces of the Maidenhair Fern Greenery.

• Susan finished off this Cross by adding the Scabiosa Spray that she cut into multiple sections. 

• Once the Cross was complete Susan attached it to the Wire Easel using greening pins dipped in Hot Glue.

Whether displayed at a memorial service or placed at a gravesite, the Summer Fields Memorial Cross serves as a meaningful expression of love, remembrance, and faith. Its warm late summer colors and rustic charm offer a comforting reminder of treasured memories and the enduring bond shared with those we hold close in our hearts. We hope this design brings inspiration as you create a beautiful tribute to celebrate a life that will always be remembered.
