The nativity is the traditional Christmas story of the birth of Jesus Christ. This religious activity focuses on the stable and celebrates religious iconography.

Step 1. Cut each A4 Metallic Felt sheet into four A6-sized pieces. Each student needs one A6 piece.

Step 2. Draw the outline of a stable onto the felt using an EverZart Broad Marker. Add other elements to the scene, such as Mary, Joseph, Jesus, crib, etc.

Step 3. Use a White Perma Pen and the EverZart Broad Marker to add patterns and details – this will add contrast.

NB: Be sure not to colour the entire felt piece – allow the metallic colour to shine through.

Step 4. Cut around the stable outline to emphasise its shape.

Step 5. Punch a hole at the top of the nativity design. Thread a piece of jute through and knot the ends together to make a hanger.

OPTION. Students may also choose to use the same technique to create a star, the three wise men or a scene scape of Bethlehem.
