SENIOR LADY: CHRISTMAS CRAFT PROJECTS! #8

-


 




 I usually try to combine traditional and religious

 Christmas crafts in my Christmas decorations

every year.  I spend most of the month of  October 

browsing online Christmas catalogs, social media,

 and videos looking for Christmas project ideas.


I had began looking at religious items when I saw

drawings of Nativity scenes mounted on music 

sheets. The music sheets had lyrics to religious

Christmas songs.  I searched on my Mom's

book shelf looking for old hymn books. There

were none among her books. She suddenly

recalled that she had loaned her hymn book

to friend. I wondered if my collection of Bible

 Word Search puzzle books had puzzles about

The Birth Of Jesus. I found two puzzle pages that might suffice. One puzzle was about Mother

 Mary and the other was about Choir of Angels.

Here are my project details:


NEED:


Nativity Scene Drawing or

Nativity Coloring Page.

Music Sheet of Christmas Song

or Christmas Bible Puzzle Page

Gold Picture Frame: 8x11:

Back for Wall Hanging or Table


Tools:

Scissors

Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks 









INSTRUCTIONS:


I drew Nativity Scene free hand on white paper

 (after viewing online drawings). I cut out the

Nativity  scene. I taped scene onto puzzle sheet. 

I made copy of  scene & puzzle sheet on my 

Injet copier.  Now the Nativity scene &  the

 puzzle  page were combined on one sheet. 

The beige puzzle paper didn't blend with the

 white cut out scene. The Puzzle sheet with 

the Nativity scene was mounted on the picture

frame. I decided to mount two more Nativity

scene pictures on  cardboard  & black & white

scrapbook paper I had on hand.























I'm glad I used  the Bible Puzzle pages. They  looked

as good as the Christmas music sheets. This turned

out to be a great alternative if   hymn book not on

hand.  



TIPS:


**  Make copy of hymn book sheets

on copier if you dislike damaging 

hymn books.


** The Nativity with Hymn Page can be

mounted on cardboard, wood, or heavy

weight poster boards. Add hanger on back.


** Nativity scene can  be colored & matched

with colored heavy weight paper.

SENIOR LADY: RESURRECTION GARDEN PROJECT!

  I  was looking  online for ideas for my Easter projects.   I kept wondering why I was seeing so many bunnies,  ducks, and chicks in the crafts.  I realized I forgot  to specify religious Easter crafts. There were a lot of unique  decorated crosses . I made decorated  crosses for Christmas stocking stuffers. A few of  them  were left over. They may be placed in  my  family's Easter baskets.  I got great ideas for a  few floral arrangements. A few of  the Easter Resurrection gardens had unique additions  and  embellishments that  really made them  look more authentic. I bookmarked some of  the gardens  for inspiration.  I needed to go shopping for materials for a Resurrection  garden. My local stores didn't have clay trays to use for the garden scene. They did have a new  supply of  stones  and other mini garden supplies. Using these supplies to cr...
