Driftwood Nativity

Aloha Crafters ~

Today's Idea & Inspiration is a Nativity my d.s.l. Mark and I made from driftwood we picked up at the beach.

Supplies:
  • Driftwood
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Glue Sticks
Instructions:
  1. Take a walk on the beach ;p... pick up driftwood (we picked up 2 grocery bags)
  2. Sift through driftwood, looking for wood shaped like the figures you wish to include in your Nativity, pillars, shingles, etc.
  3. Chose 2 long pieces to use for the "foundation", the flatter the better.
  4. Build a "ladder" with the 2 long pieces and short ones across, glue together for the floor.
  5. 4 "pillars" can then be glued to the corners of the floor.
  6. 4 pieces for the roof line, 1 for the ridgepole.
  7. Shingle roof as desired.
  8. Adhere nativity figures to floor.

Happy Crafting!
