Three Wise Women Gift


I have always just thought this was the funniest Christmas poem and wanted to make some gifts for my girlfriends for Christmas.  I first saw it on a plate my sister in law had on display in her home.  Then, I started seeing it everywhere.  I do not know the author to give credit to. I tried to find the original with no luck. If you know the original poem came from, please share so we can give them credit. I thought this is the perfect gift for the ladies I work with, my sisters, and female friends. Just a fun girl gift. I included a plate stand (amazon link) so they can display it for the holidays. There are many options on Amazon if you love the gift, but don't want to make it.

I used a turquoise blue plate with brown trim (amazon link). I cut out the saying on my silhouette cameo (amazon link), using brown permanent oracle 651 vinyl (amazon link). 


I scraped the transfer tape (amazon link) on really good with my vinyl scraper (amazon link) and transferred it to the plate. Just that quick. Really easy gift to make if you have a vinyl cutter. The best part of making your own gifts is you can change the wording or personalize the gift. Put a message on the back of the plate for an added touch! Hope your friends like it! I know mine did.

Popsicle Stick Nativity Craft

www.mustruninthefamily.com

Here's a classic Popsicle stick craft bringing the joy and true meaning of Christmas.

It's easy and quick for a great church, school, friend or family time craft.  
Easy enough for your young children, but something even the older kids will enjoy making.

mini craft stick

You'll need regular and mini sized craft sticks.
(If you want to really make it interesting you can use jumbo craft sticks for the stable roof or floor.)



Arrange your sticks like the picture shown below.  
The angel is the stick above the roof.  
Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus are the three stick in the middle.  
Optional: You can cut the angel or people is you want them shorter.


Use broken or cut toothpicks or craft sticks in an "X" shape for the manger.

Paint or color them with permanent marker, with a fine tip sharpie for drawing the eyes.
I would recommend low temp hot glue guns, but white glue will work.

Angel

Optional: Embellish with tinsel for the Angel's halo, and twine/ribbon bows for that extra special look.

Make a loop out of twine to hang your nativity on the tree.
