Wood Grain Nativity & a HUGE Silhouette Giveaway #SilhouetteChallenge

Good morning! It’s a busy day here on the blog! Make sure you enter to win my Christmas Wish Basket full of craft supplies & pop over to see some cute brown paper packages gift wrapping ideas. I’m also excited to participating in another Silhouette Challenge! This month’s theme is the holidays! So I am excited to show you how to make this Wood Grain Nativity. Annnd you’ll want to scroll down to find TONS of holiday inspired ideas from the Silhouette Challenge facebook group. I also have a HUGE Silhouette giveaway with TWO winners. Eek! So keep reading! You don’t want to miss a thing! :)

A few month’s ago I made some fall blocks, & I loved the contrast of the white vinyl & the stained wood. I thought it would be beautiful as a nativity set. Plus this is sooooo easy to make! It would make a wonderful Christmas gift. I gave this set to my sister. :)

You’ll need a few supplies to get started:
white vinyl
some of these nativity figures
sand paper
MinWax Wood Finish ~ Special Walnut
rubber gloves
foam brush
old rag

First you’ll cut & stain your wood. I just used 2x4s & a few scrap pieces for my blocks. Then I stained my wood using the wood stain & foam brush. Wipe off the excess stain with a rag. Let dry. Don’t forget to wear your rubber gloves!

Then you’ll cut & apply your vinyl. I did a more detailed tutorial on how to cut & apply vinyl right over {HERE}.

Then all you have left to do is enjoy your new nativity set. :)

Enjoy a few more of my favorite handmade nativities! :)
