✝️ Chapel of the Holy Cross — DIY Sea Glass Art Kit

A beginner-friendly sacred landmarks craft kit that lets you create a handmade sea glass artwork inspired by the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, Arizona — a stunning modernist chapel built directly into the red rock buttes, where faith and the breathtaking beauty of nature come together in one unforgettable place.

What Is This DIY Kit?

This is a complete sea glass art kit that comes with everything you need to create a beautiful frosted sea glass artwork at home. No prior crafting experience is required. Simply follow the included guide, place each sea glass piece by hand, and transform a printed art base into a stunning sacred landmark keepsake you can display and cherish.

About This Design

The Chapel of the Holy Cross rises dramatically from the red sandstone buttes of Sedona, Arizona, a spiritual and architectural marvel unlike any other sacred space in America. Completed in 1956 and designed by sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, the chapel was inspired by the Empire State Building and built as an act of faith and devotion to God's creation. Its soaring 90-foot cross is embedded into the living rock of the canyon wall, and the chapel's floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the Sedona landscape that have moved millions of visitors to silence and reflection. This design captures the chapel's striking beauty through deep terracotta red, warm sandstone, bright white, and vivid sky blue frosted sea glass tones that echo the colors of Sedona's sacred landscape.

🖐️ Beginner Friendly — No Skills Needed

This kit is designed for everyone. Whether you've never crafted before or simply want a relaxing hands-on activity, you can complete this artwork with ease. No drawing, painting, or special tools are needed — just follow the guide and enjoy the process.
