Wooden Clothespin Family Nativity Tutorial

You will need

• clothespin dolls


• clothespin stands


• head beads


• wooden baby


• flesh colored pipe cleaners


• scrap fabric and twine


• paints


• glue gun
  
  
  

  
  Cut a 4 inch piece of pipe cleaner and hot glue it to the back of the clothespin doll.
  

  
  

  Cut 2 scraps {one for Joseph one for Mary} of fabric 6 1/2 inches by about 1 1/2 inches wide.
  
  Fold in half and cut a small half circle.
  In the meantime you have painted your head beads in a flesh color. I also added burlap to Joseph and a twine "belt" some ticking to Mary and a string "belt"
  
  Next with brown paint I added hair and a beard to Joseph.
  
  Brown dot eyes and a smile, baby Jesus is wrapped in a square piece of muslin. I used more neutral fabric and hot glued on the heads. Found a stick in the yard for Joseph.
