Homemade Nativity Set

 

Most of the supplies I already had (LOVE projects like that!)

 

 

Here is a supply list in case you don't have everything on hand:

 

I cut the wood from wooden scraps. The pieces measuring approx:

1.5 X 1.5 inches square and 7 inches high (Mary- the red)

1.5 X 1.5 inches square and 8 inches high (Joseph)

1 X 3 inches (Baby Jesus)

 *I made a couple of these and the sizes varied depending on the size of wood scraps I had, so use your own crativity!

I purchased the wooden circles at a craft store

 

Small amount of wire (4 inches)

Small wooden star

Paint

Hot glue

Raffia or ribbon

 

I painted the pieces and sanded the edges for that rustic look. I also drilled a hole to attach the wire into for the star that is above their heads.

 

I used raffia that I had on hand to tie around the pieces of wood, but it is strictly for decorative purposes as I hot glued all the pieces together first.
