How to Make a Nativity Craft With Stones
Begin by laying out twigs in the shape of a stable on the front of the burlap wrapped canvas.
Make the stable large enough to hold all of the nativity characters you plan to include on your canvas.
You can view the photo for an idea of the basic shape you need to create.
Glue the twigs into place with a hot glue gun once you have them arranged where you would like them to be.
Place a thin layer of hot glue along the twigs that form the stable and press some floral moss into it.
Tap off the excess moss gently and allow the glue to dry and harden.
Create a baby Jesus shape for your nativity by finding a medium sized, flat round stone for his body, and a small round pebble for his head.
Hot glue him into place in the centre of the nativity and leave room under him to create a manger out of twigs.
Make a manger for baby Jesus out of twigs and glue it into place under him on the front of the canvas.
Create other nativity characters of your choosing out of the larger flat stones and the small pebbles.
These can include Mary, Joseph, wise men, shepherds and even sheep.
Hot glue the different rock characters into place within the stable on the front of your burlap canvas.
Glue a large star shaped piece of confetti onto the top of your canvas above the stable.
Enjoy.
