Christmas time is the perfect time to introduce and do a craft with your children, around the birth of Christ. I recently picked up these Nativity Scene foam stickers from Hobby Lobby and they inspired our latest MIXED MEDIA tutorial!
Keep scrolling to see how I made this Mixed Media Nativity Scene come to life within minutes! #gluedtomycrafts
Crinkle Paper & Popsicle Stick Nativity Scene Craft
Christmas isn’t Christmas without a Nativity scene on display and a handmade Nativity scene is best of all!
Our Nativity character stickers in this particular craft are from Hobby Lobby but other than that, the other supplies can be found pretty much anywhere this time of year!
Now onto the craft! I hope you are inspired and are compelled to share pictures with us afterwards 😉 It seriously makes my day, so tag us on your social media sites or use our special branded hashtag #gluedtomycrafts on Instagram, for us to see!

Directions:
- First you will want to take your FOUR JUMBO POPSICLE STICKS and glue them into the center of your cardstock paper, to create the barn. You need two sticks for the wall and two for the roof.
- From there, you are going to glue a good amount of “crinkle paper” on the bottom of the barn for the straw.
- Next and the final step – add the Nativity stickers to the paper to create the scene. If you are not able to find the stickers, I suggest hand-drawing or maybe using a Cricut Joy machine to make all the pieces. The stickers are just the easiest in my opinion!
- When done with all the steps, set it aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
