Decorate a living room with crosses creating a sentimental exhibition that mixes precious crosses with other special memories. Start by choosing the special crosses you intend to use. Examples of crosses with special meaning include a cross used in a marriage ceremony, a cross received as a baptismal gift or a cross given as a gift by a special friend or family member.

Match sentimental crosses with related memories. For example, a framed copy of a marriage announcement with a cross used in a marriage ceremony; a typewritten and framed excerpt from a Bible verse read during a baptism ceremony; and a framed photograph of a person to hang near the cross received as a gift from the person in the photo.
Hang cross pairs and sentimental memories to decorate the living room. This can be done by making a large screen or several small groups on the walls.
Cross collage
Use a different approach to your desire to decorate a living room with crosses using it as a large collage wall. Collect all the crosses you would like to include on the screen. Ideally, the crosses will be of various sizes and will be made of various materials, as this combination will create maximum interest for a wall collage. Even crossings of very similar sizes and materials (like all wooden crosses in the collection) can be placed in a visually appealing display.
Determine the wall on which you want to create your collage. Since this collage will be a large and somewhat busy screen, it is preferable to choose a large wall otherwise unadorned.
Choose a shape for your collage. This will be the invisible perimeter of the collage in which you will organize the crosses.
Determine the size of the collage that will work best to hold all the crosses and record the measurements.
Draw the collage by marking the size and shape of the collage on the floor with a string. Practice putting the crosses in various locations in the area you marked until you find the best available crosses.
Record your final arrangement on a piece of paper, noting which cross to hang, so that you have a plan to follow when you hang the crosses. Hang the crosses on the wall after the final agreement recorded on the card.
