One thing you see at most houses at Christmas time is a Nativity Scene.  But, the problem with the store bought Nativity Scenes is that they are usually very delicate…. too delicate for the children to actually play with.  And, the thing about that is…. children love to play with the Nativity Scenes.  I mean, what’s not to want to touch…. there are small people, animals and a manger.  There is an entire scene for the kids to want to act out with the characters.  Well, why not make a Nativity Scene craft ….. put together a Nativity Scene of your very own that the children can actually play with.  So, today I have put together a bunch of Fun Nativity Scene Crafts that I have found around the internet.  All are a ton of fun…. and they are all meant to be played with.

Check out our other Christmas Crafts.

I have a fun and easy craft for you today.  I’m going to show you how to make a Trinket Box out of Popsicle Sticks.  A trinket box is great for holding little things like rings, earrings, candy, coins…. those type of little things.  These type of things are called trinkets and a trinket box is kept to store these small things as to not lose them.  This trinket box makes for a great gift for someone special or keep it for yourself.  The choice is yours.  Now let’s get started.

Check out our other Popsicle Stick Crafts.

Materials Needed

Popsicle sticks

Thick colored paper

Glue

Gold acrylic paint

Step 1

Glue four sticks together to form a square. Make about 20 squares like this.

Step 2

On top of the first square, glue a second square as shown.

Step 3

Keep gluing the squares on top of each other in the same manner to form a design.

Step 4

Cut out a piece of paper in the size of the square and glue it to the bottom most square.

Step 5

And, there you have it…. easy peasy lemon squeazy.  How did your Trinket Box turn out?  Now, the real question is this….. are you going to keep it for yourself or give it to someone else as a gift?   Hmmmmm…..

January is almost here.  And, with January comes the need for a new calendar.  But, what if you had a Perpetual Calendar…. or another words a “Forever Calendar”?  If you did you wouldn’t need to change your calendar every year.   You would simply change the date everyday by rotating the numbers and the month.  Well, with that being said…. today I’m going to show you how to make a Paper Box Perpetual Calendar.  The craft is an easy one, but oh so useful.  So, let’s get started.

Check out our other New Years Crafts and Calendar Crafts.

Materials Needed

Paper

Printer

Scissors

Glue

Popsicle Sticks

Paint (optional)

Laminating or Cereal Box Cardboard (optional)

Click on the following templates to make larger and print.

Template 1

Template 2

Template 3

Step 1

Print out templates.  I laminated them…. but no need to do this.  This is optional.  You can alternatively paste them to cereal box cardboard if you want to make them sturdier.

Step 2

Cut all of templates out.

Step 3

Fold on dotted lines.

Step 4

Glue tabs together…. box will come together.

From a different view… you can see how box is going to fold together.

See how it is coming together.

After you fold and paste final side in… you have a cube.

Step 5

The month templates work the same way… cut out… fold on dotted lines.

Glue tabs together.

Fold and paste sides in and you have a rectangle shape.

Step 6

To make the stand… I used Popsicle sticks… Mine are bigger than normal so you might need to use more than me.  See how many Popsicle sticks you will need to use so that 2 blocks will fit on it.  Then line them side to side.

Step 7

Glue pieces vertically (up and down direction) to keep them in place.

Step 8

Glue 3 or 4 sticks at the top.

Step 9

Turn over.  Glue about 10 Popsicle sticks on opposite side of the sticks you added in the last step.

Step 10

Repeat steps 6 and 7 to make a back for stand.

Step 11

Glue backing to the stack of Popsicle sticks.

Step 12

Glue enough Popsicle sticks so that the month block can be pushed out to the front… like this.

Step 13

It looks nice when you paint it.

Step 14

The blocks can be placed like this to display the date.

Change the date everyday… a calendar you never have to get rid of.  How did your perpetual calendar turn out?  Where are you going to display your calendar?  Let me know in the comments below.  I’d love to hear about it.
