Tiny Nativities!
This community has been pretty quiet lately, but I thought I'd post some pics of the tiny stable I made for my Playmobil Nativity set today. :) I got the Playmobil set last year, and loved the quality of the people, animals, and accessories, but the stable was disappointingly made of cheap cardboard! A few weeks ago I saw these stables, made of untreated wood on a particle board base--at Target of all places--and thought it would be perfect for my Playmobils. :) I stained the wood and covered the base with this plastic sheet that is supposed to look like rock, something I originally got for my hobbit dollhouse but never used. I wove some pieces of plastic fern through the back to make a backdrop, and glued some fish gravel, sand, and coloured lichen here and there to make the stable look a bit decrepit.
Here it is the final result:
I really like the three Playmobil wise men; they are quite colourful, and came with a camel. :) The angel on top is interesting... she came with a little gold wand that had a star on top, which I found rather puzzling. Was it supposed to be a magic wand?! I must have missed that part of the Christmas story. :P Here is the empty stable after I modified it:
I didn't wait long after Thanksgiving to set up my tiny Christmas display! This is on top of my TV, where hopefully my two kittens won't be able to reach.
The little things on the left side of the tree? Tiniest Nativity ever. ;)
I got this set at Michaels a few years ago; just couldn't pass up the smallest Nativity I'd ever seen. :P I should probably cut off the thread as I never hang them up, except for the angel and the star.
