It’s a creative and visually stunning way to showcase the story of the birth of Jesus. In this step-by-step guide, we will take you through the process of creating your own vertical nativity scene.

Materials You’ll Need

  • Cutting board
  • Wood or foam board
  • Craft knife or saw
  • Sandpaper
  • Paint (acrylic or spray paint)
  • Paintbrushes
  • Hot glue gun
  • Nativity figurines
  • LED string lights

Step 1: Design and Cutting

Plan the design of your nativity scene on the wood or foam board. You can sketch it out beforehand if you like. Once you’re satisfied with the design, use a craft knife or saw to carefully cut out the shapes. Pay attention to details like angles and curves for a more realistic look.

Step 2: Sanding

After cutting, use sandpaper to smoothen the edges and surfaces of the cutouts. This will give your nativity scene a polished finish and prevent any rough edges from snagging or catching on things.

Step 3: Painting

Now it’s time to bring your nativity scene to life with paint. Choose colors that complement your Christmas decor. Acrylic or spray paint works best on wood or foam board. Apply multiple coats if needed, and let each coat dry completely before moving on.

Step 4: Adding Details

To make your nativity scene more realistic, consider adding details like facial features, clothing patterns, or texture with a smaller brush. Take your time and pay attention to the finer details to make your figurines stand out.

Step 5: Assembly

Using a hot glue gun, carefully attach your nativity figurines to the painted cutouts. Ensure they are securely attached, and allow the glue to dry completely before moving or handling them.

Step 6: Lighting

To give your nativity scene a magical glow, add LED string lights. Arrange the lights behind the cutouts, following the outline of the scene. Make sure the wires are hidden from plain sight for a more seamless look. Plug the lights in and see how they bring your vertical nativity scene to life.

Step 7: Display

Finally, find the perfect spot to display your masterpiece. Consider a wall, mantle, or any area that allows your vertical nativity scene to be showcased prominently. Make sure to place it in a safe and stable location, away from any potential hazards or accidents.

There you have it – your very own vertical nativity scene! This unique decoration will surely impress your family and friends during the holiday season. Enjoy the process of creating this beautiful representation of the Christmas story and embrace the joyful spirit it brings.
