And so I did. I went with a much more graphic style than I usually do, sort of a cross between my typical style and that of the IKEA ornaments.
It's St. Nicholas Day today, so of course there is Santa, and a few traditional Christmas designs. You can print on cardstock, trim them, punch a hole and hang them with a hook or ribbon. They also would make nice little tags.
But I couldn't stop there. So I also made a set that has Mary, Baby Jesus, Joseph, an Angel, and a Shepherd. Again, simple and graphic.
UPDATE: by special request, here are black and white versions that are ready for coloring!
I almost forgot...Another fun use for these would be to glue them to the ends of craft sticks to be little puppets. Your kids will love them!
Have fun printing!
LOVE! Love love love these! Thank you so much! I'm thinking they'd be cute on top of gifts or wrapped up plates of Christmas goodies as well!

ReplyDeleteI was just in a production of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" and your nativity printables were the best to use as small mementos for all the actors, especially the children who actually performed the Christmas pageant. I printed many sets of them and wrote the name of the show and the date on the backs,laminated and put a ribbon through the top of each. They were perfect and the kids were happy with them. I gave a set of the nativity mounted on a corrugated paper and the director thanked me for her little "bandaid" nativity! Thanks for sharing your talent!
ReplyDeleteCarol! Thank you for sharing these with others, especially for a production of one of my very favorite Christmas stories! This makes me so excited!
