A Sweet Little Silent Night

This DIY Wood Nativity Scene has been a project that I have had in my mind for several years. When Woodpeckers Crafts offered their complete library of wooden items, I felt like a kid in the candy store! I began setting up a scene in our craft lab with a box of small wooden items, bringing in my child-like imagination. You can see a behind-the-scenes photo of my process below.

Once I organized all of the wooden pieces that would create the structure of each character, I chose a color palette of wool blend felt and craft paints to add details. To enhance the color of the natural wood, I chose paints in a “wood stained” brown, white, and a pale grey blue. And yes, a touch of gold paint for a bit of sparkle. I picked a soft white and dove grey wool blend felt for added details.

For this project, I wanted to create a simple Scandinavian style that would be easy for anyone to recreate, even in their own color palette.

Let’s Make It!

In the right column, you will find the complete list, with links, of materials I used to create this adorable nativity scene to decorate my mantle this Christmas.

In the download folder, you will find a PDF template for the felt pieces and an SVG if you want to use your cutting machine. There is also a printable PDF with detailed instructions, and I have broken down each item you will use for every character so you can easily follow along.

Let me know in the comments if you are making this set for yourself or as a gift for someone you love. I imagine it is a set that will delight little ones. I know it makes me smile. Isn’t that why we craft? To create joy? And what a perfect time of year to do so.

Happy Christmas Crafting!
