Small Realistic Nativity Woodcrafting Pattern

Identical in realistic detail to our Life-size Nativity, this eye-catching woodcraft project has been scaled down for smaller yards or to display indoors. The largest figure stands about 23" tall while the stable is 28" tall.

Inexpensive to make, all 16 pieces plus the stable can be cut from just a single 4' x 8' sheet of plywood.

Our full-size traceable pattern includes complete instructions.
