New crosses for collective worship

Worship group have a half term challenge for you.  We would like you to design and make a new cross for our collective worship assemblies over half term.  Your crosses can be as creative as you like.  They will stand in the hall and be used in various places around the school so please make sure they are not too large and can stand up by themselves.  Please see the picture for more some inspiration. Thank you, Mrs Duff
