Tape Resist Cross Craft

This Tape Resist Cross Craft is a fun Easter craft idea for kids.

You’ll need only a few supplies and a bit of creativity to make these beautiful Easter crosses! The process is super fun too! Kids will love making a cross out of the tape and then choosing their own colors for the background. Of course the best part is to take the tape off and reveal the Easter cross!
