Materials

  • Crochet thread in white or cream (approx. 30 yards)
  • Thin wire (20-24 gauge) for shaping
  • Hot glue gun
  • String or thread (for hanging or securing the shape)
  • Small decorative star (optional, for the top)
  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Begin by shaping the wire into the outline of a nativity scene, this could include a simple curve or swirl to form the base and a star at the top. You can also form small figures like Mary, Joseph, and the baby, keeping the shapes simple yet recognizable.
  • Once the wire shapes are ready, crochet the thread around the wire to create a soft texture. Carefully wrap the crochet thread, ensuring it is even and snug to keep the shapes intact.
  • Once your nativity scene is fully covered, use hot glue to secure the ends of the crochet thread and ensure everything stays in place.
  • For a festive touch, crochet or glue a small star at the top of the nativity scene to represent the Star of Bethlehem.
  • Add a loop of string or thread at the top for hanging, or simply set the decoration on a flat surface to display.
