Celtic crosses can give a great sense of comfort to those who wear them. All crosses have stories and histories, making them precious gifts between people and a part of many family histories. Crosses can be simple or ornate. Some of the Celtic crosses are claddagh's, trinity knots, connemara marble and emeralds. Artwork also frequently features the Celtic cross because of the beauty it holds.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Draw a vertical column.

  2. Step 2

    Draw a horizontal column that is slightly above the center of the vertical column, forming a cross.

  3. Step 3

    Add a hoop behind the cross. The portions of the hoop should only be seen at the inside corners of the cross.

  4. Step 4

    Add a circle in the center of the cross.

  5. Step 5

    Create a Celtic knot design within the circle by drawing small circles next to each other until the larger circle is filled.

  6. Step 6

    Add shadows.
