PAIR YOUR POPSICLE STICK NATIVITY CRAFT WITH —> Baby Jesus Christmas Star Ornament

Craft Supplies:

Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {two per nativity craft}
School Glue
Craft Scissors
Brown Cardstock Paper
Skin Tone Cardstock Paper
Gold Cardstock Paper
Black Sharpie Marker
Gold Glitter Glue or Gold Glitter

Directions:

First take your TWO jumbo popsicle sticks and glue them together to look like an “X.” Set aside to let it dry.
Grab all your cardstock and scissors. Cut out a brown triangle for the “hay” of the craft, while using the remaining cardstock to cut out a baby wrapped in a blanket {a circle and a rectangle with a triangle cut out}
Now grab your popsicle stick shape and glue your cardstock pieces in place. Be sure to start with the brown triangle first.
Use the black Sharpie marker to draw on a face, on the baby.
For added sparkle, use gold glitter glue or just plain school glue & gold glitter, to add some more “straw” or “hay” surrounding the baby.
When done, set it aside to let it dry completely.
If desired, hot glue some ribbon to the back for easy hanging on the Christmas tree.
