Terra-cotta Nativity Trio

[rtebalt]

Materials:
2 small terra-cotta pots
1 small terra-cotta saucer
Acrylic paint
Fine-point marker
3 wooden knobs, one smaller than the others
Tacky glue
Fabric
Embroidery floss
Raffia

Time Needed: 1-2 hours

1. Paint the terra-cotta pots and saucer. Use a fine-point marker to draw faces on the wooden knobs.

2. Once the paint is dry, turn the pots upside down and use tacky glue to attach a larger head to the bottom of each pot. When the glue is dry, drape a piece of fabric around the top of each head and tie it in place with embroidery floss.

3. Form a swaddling blanket from another piece of cloth, as shown, gluing it to secure the shape. Glue the small head to the blanket and set it in the saucer on a bed of raffia.
