Materials

  • Printed or original “Silent Night” music sheet
  • Wooden Christmas tree cutout or sturdy cardboard (about 10–12 inches tall)
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Faux greenery or pine sprigs
  • Scissors and paintbrush
  • Mod Podge or craft glue
  • Optional: jute string, star embellishment, or moss for detail
  • Small wooden nativity figures or black paint for silhouettes

Instructions

  • Trim your music sheet to fit the tree shape. If you’re using multiple sheets, arrange them to cover the surface completely. Then apply Mod Podge evenly over the base and carefully press the sheet down, smoothing out any wrinkles.
  • Once dry, lightly brush the edges with brown or gold paint for an aged look. This gives the craft that cozy, vintage Christmas glow.
  • Attach your nativity figures at the bottom center. If you’re painting silhouettes, sketch the stable outline first, then fill it with black paint.
  • Glue a few small pine sprigs or faux greenery along the base for a natural finish. You can also add a bow or star at the top for a festive accent.
  • Let everything dry completely before displaying it on your mantel, shelf, or table.
