Wooden Plaque Nativity Scene

Happy Christmas All! I have a fun, simple Christmas project for you today. I love simple projects, where you put on some Christmas music, and in no time can have a new Christmas decoration for your house. So lets grab our Bowdabra and ribbon and get crafting.

Here is what you will need for today’s craft:

1 wooden square board
Vinyl Nativity Image
5/8 inch wide Red Polka Dot Sheer Ribbon
Mini Bowdabra
Hair Bow Tool and Ruler
Bowdabra Bow Wire
White and Black Acrylic paint
Paint Brush
Hot Glue Gun

Instructions:

1. Start out by painting your wooden square white.

2. Once that layer is complete immediately (no drying in between coats) add a dollop of black paint to the center of your board.

3. Brush the black paint into the white.

4. Then add a little bit more white paint to the top. I love this look on wood.  I think it gives it a lot more character.

5. Let you board COMPLETELY dry. Then add your vinyl Nativity image.  If you don’t have a vinyl image you can hand paint a nativity scene onto the board or use a stencil.

 

6. Follow the Hair Bow Tool and Ruler Interactive CD to make a basic bow.  The Interactive CD is available for purchase at our Bowdabra Ribbon Crafts & Things Store.  The CD comes with a ruler that fits over the Mini Bowdabra to help you measure your bows.

7. Then your done. Hang on a wall or on a plate stand. Either way you have another fantastic Christmas Decoration for your house.
