It's Nearly Christmas and We Need to be Making Crafts

Christmas Crafts are for Everyone

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are You Working on Crafts Projects for Christmas?

Christmas season is the time for crafts, and we need to be working. We have about 1,000 uncut and unused crafts patterns recently listed for sale, so others can do crafts, but we have done few artsy fun projects this fall. I hope you have done better.  

What are you working on? I have some quilting projects going on, but need to set them aside for Christmas. One project we do almost every year is to make a barn or lean-to for a nativity scene. For some reason, everyone has Joseph, Mary and the Christ Child with no stable. You can find a picture of the lean-to in an older blog. We love to share these fun projects!

I've missed you guys!  Been so busy writing that I just cannot get around like I used to. Maybe I'm getting older, too.

Make a Stable or Barn Crafts for a Christmas Nativity Scene

There are many characters available for Christmas nativity scenes, but the barn or stable seems to be missing. Even finding one at a reasonable price is difficult, especially including shipping.

You can make your own Christmas nativity scene stable or barn with very little effort. You don't even have to be good at crafts. Most of our crafts are needlework and fabric crafts, and this is an invention we needed for use with some cross-stitch characters--Joseph, Mary, shepherds, baby Jesus and sheep and cows.

This barn or stable takes only a cardboard box and tape, but you may want to use sphagnum moss or cover the box with fabric. The size of the nativity scene you have will determine the size of the box you need to use.

 You are recycling the box and reusing your old nativity scene characters. The world thanks you!
