Just as Demetrius sold shrines of Artemis, we can carry the cross with us, not to gain God's favor but as a witness to others.
Supplies: Plastic canvas, 1/16th-in. ribbon, lanyard clips.
Cut out cross shapes from plastic canvas. (You can buy precut shapes, but the price increase is astronomical over cutting out your own shapes from a large sheet. All it costs you is time.) I cut each arm 4 squares across, and the cross is 16 squares tall.
Cut 18-inch lengths of ribbon, and tie a lanyard clip on one end.
Give the shapes and ribbons to the children and show them how to start at the middle top and lace around the edges.
When they are finished, tie the loose end to the lanyard clip. The charms can now be clipped onto backpacks or belt loops.
