Our self-made nativity scene made from wooden blocks and moulds is a highlight. With the craft blocks, you can create and decorate the base plate for the nativity scene entirely according to your own ideas. The nativity scene and the accompanying people and animals are cast by yourself and can be kept plain white or coloured and decorated as desired.
This is how you designed the christmas crib:
Mix 3 heaped tablespoons of Raysin with water to form a creamy mixture.

Pour the mixture into the casting moulds. Squeeze the mixing cup a little so that nothing goes wrong. Tap the casting mould a few times. This will cause the air bubbles to rise and you will later have a smooth surface. After approx. 30 minutes, you can carefully press the figures out of the mould. The edges can be smoothed with sandpaper

Glue 5 craft blocks together on the long, narrow sides to form a base plate using handicraft glue. Glue another five blocks on top to create further levels and heights.

Use hot glue to attach a chain of lights to the back of the house and pieces of driftwood to the roof.

Now glue all the figures, Iceland moss and some driftwood to the different levels of the craft blocks using hot glue.
