DIY Nativity

Original design Fimo™sculptures by Effervescent Ethel.  Manger design and construction by our beloved Cap'n Mad Ellen.




Loosely inspired by:

Provisions you'll need:


Figures:

-Fimo™
-*buttons (optional)
-glue

* I glued a button under the Mary and Joseph figurine so they would stand up straight. They were wobbly and uneven on the bottom.


Nativity:

-scrap cardboard or similar
-scissors
-tape (adhesive or masking)
-(optional) very small hammer
-glue
-specialty paper/construction paper and/or scrap paper to cover the box, construct the cradle and for the hay  (I used leftover scraps of paint chip sample paper to cover the floor interior, background and for the front of the manger.)
