Creating a nativity scene is a wonderful tradition during the Christmas season. It brings joy and reminds us of the birth of Jesus. One essential element of a nativity scene is the columns that provide a beautiful backdrop. If you’re looking to add columns to your nativity scene, follow this easy step-by-step guide:

Gather Your Materials

Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary materials. You will need:

  • Cardboard tubes
  • 12-inch wood dowels
  • Hot glue gun
  • Hot glue sticks
  • Acrylic paints
  • Paintbrushes
  • Scissors or craft knife

Step 1: Cut the Cardboard Tubes

Take your cardboard tubes and measure them to the desired height of your columns. Use scissors or a craft knife to carefully cut the tubes to the desired length.

Step 2: Prepare the Dowels

Measure and cut the 12-inch wood dowels to the desired length for your columns. Make sure they are all the same length for uniformity.

Step 3: Attach Dowels to Cardboard Tubes

Take the cut cardboard tubes and apply hot glue around one end. Attach the dowel to the glued end of the tube and hold it firmly until it sets. Repeat this step for all the tubes and dowels.

Step 4: Paint the Columns

Now it’s time to give your columns a realistic look. Use acrylic paints in colors that match your nativity scene’s theme. Apply a base coat and let it dry. Then, add details like marble texture or stone patterns using different shades of paint. Get creative and make each column unique!

Step 5: Decorate Your Columns

To make your columns stand out, you can add decorative elements. Consider using gold or silver paint to create ornate designs on the columns. You can also wrap faux garland or fabric around them for a festive touch.

Step 6: Place Your Columns in the Nativity Scene

Once the columns are dry, carefully place them in the desired location within your nativity scene. Make sure they are stable and secure for a safe display.

Now you have stunning columns for your nativity scene! These simple yet elegant additions will enhance the beauty of your display and create a visually captivating scene. Enjoy the process of making and setting up your nativity scene, and let it serve as a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.
