Nativity Scene

How to Make

  1. Assemble a diorama scene box and paint the outside brown and the inside yellow.
  2. To make Mary, make a cone out of light blue paper. Draw a face onto a skin coloured sheet of paper, then stick to the top of the cone with tape.
  3. Cut out a headdress shape from dark blue paper, and stick it to the back of the head. To make Jospeh repeat steps 2 and 3 using orange and green paper.
  4. To make the manger, make a cone out of a brown sheet of paper, then trim the bottom half off to make a manger shape that stands on its own. Then fill this with some yellow shredded tissue.
  5. Make a baby Jesus from white and skin coloured paper and place it on top of the shredded tissue.
  6. Stick a glitter star to the front of the stable and then place the characters inside.
