Safety Notes
- Do not use craft scissors if the girls are planning to eat their crosses.
Instructions
- Mix up the icing. A thick consistency is best,
especially if you intend piping the icing.
(approximately 6 heaped tbsp of icing sugar to 1 tbsp of water)
- If you intend piping the icing, place it in a
plastic food bag and cut a small hole from one corner.
- Use the icing to draw or pipe a cross shape/design on to the rice paper. You can either create your own or trace over a design
(they show up well through the rice paper).
- Use the icing to 'glue' jewels (sweets) on to your cross.
- (optional) Make a small hole in the top of the cross and thread it onto a liquorice lace.
