DIY Butterfly Cross Using DollarTree Frame

The other day I shared how I made a DIY sunflower cross using a Dollar Tree frame. Today I am sharing a “how to” tutorial on how to make a butterfly DIY cross. These have been real popular especially as we transition from winter to spring. 

DIY Sunflower Cross using DollarTree Frame

 

I am really excited to share this DIY tutorial with you guys! I make a wide variety of these crosses to sell and I use DollarTree cross frames to do it. Our DollarTree has carried them year round this year but in years past I have had to order them on their website. These handmade crosses are one of my best sellers and I enjoy making them. 

I got the sunflower for the middle at Hobby Lobby but the DollarTree and Walmart sometimes carries them too. Here are some other variations that I make to sell.
