Church Fundraising Ideas With Horseshoe Nail Crosses

Looking for affordable, unique fundraising ideas for your church, youth group, school, or community organization?

Our handmade horseshoe nail cross necklaces offer a meaningful way to raise money while sharing a message of faith and encouragement.

Each cross is personally handcrafted by Chuck Blair using genuine steel horseshoe nails and decorative copper wire.

We've been making horseshoe nail crosses in Kentucky since 2004.

With necklaces starting at just $3.20 each and FREE SHIPPING on orders of 25 or more items, your organization can purchase affordable crosses and resell them to support a special cause.

How Much Money Can Your Church Fundraiser Make?

One of the easiest ways to organize a church fundraiser is to purchase handmade cross necklaces and offer them to supporters for a suggested selling price.

For example, if your organization purchases our $3.20 necklaces and sells them for $10 each, here's the potential profit:

These examples assume all necklaces sell and exclude any additional fundraising expenses.

Your church or organization determines its own selling price.

Unique Fundraising Ideas Using Handmade Crosses

1. Wear One, Share One Fundraiser

Encourage supporters to purchase a horseshoe nail cross necklace for themselves and another to share with someone special.

You might offer necklaces for $10 each or three for $25.

Supporters can keep one, give one to a friend or family member, and share another with someone who needs encouragement.

This creates an opportunity to raise money while spreading kindness and faith.

2. Church Youth Group Fundraisers and Outreach

One of our favorite stories came from a church that used our horseshoe nail crosses to encourage young people to share their faith.

Each young person was given a cross necklace to wear.

When someone admired their necklace, they would give that person the cross and explain its Christian meaning.

The cord represented the whip used on Jesus, the nails represented the nails of the crucifixion, and the decorative wire represented the crown of thorns.

After giving away their cross, the young person received another one from the church.

We were told this helped the young people become more confident in sharing their faith with others.

Churches and youth ministries can adapt this idea for outreach programs, mission projects, or donation-supported activities.

3. School Colors and Team Spirit Fundraisers

Our horseshoe nail crosses are available in a variety of decorative wire colors.

Choose colors that represent your school, sports team, or organization.

You can offer single-color crosses or select two-color and three-color combinations.

These make thoughtful fundraising items for school events, booster clubs, sports teams, and community celebrations.

4. A Fundraiser That Helped Bring a Child Home

Over the years, we've heard some wonderful stories about people using our crosses to raise money for meaningful causes.

Several years ago, a customer shared a wonderful story about using our handmade horseshoe nail crosses to raise money for adopting a child from China.

Their fundraising helped pay for adoption expenses, airfare for the required trips, and lodging during the adoption process.

It's a story we've always remembered.

While fundraising results vary, this experience shows how selling small, affordable items can help support an important personal goal.

5. Holiday and Special Event Fundraisers

Looking for fundraising event ideas?

Consider offering a selection of handmade horseshoe nail cross products.

In addition to necklaces, Chuck makes cross keychains, zipper pulls, rearview mirror charms, and angel ornaments.

These items can be offered at church bazaars, holiday markets, community festivals, and other fundraising events.

How to Start a Fundraiser With Horseshoe Nail Crosses

Getting started is simple.

Step 1: Choose your fundraising goal.

Decide how much money your church, school, or organization hopes to raise.

Step 2: Select your crosses.

Choose the necklace styles and decorative wire colors that best fit your group.

Step 3: Decide on a selling price.

Use the profit examples above to estimate how many necklaces you may need to sell.

Step 4: Place your order early.

Because Chuck personally bends and wraps every cross by hand, allow enough time for your order to be completed and shipped before your event.

Step 5: Share your fundraiser.

Tell friends, family, church members, and community supporters about your fundraising goal and how their purchases can help.
