Wooden Creche Craft Instructions







Typically seen in decorative nativity scenes and centerpieces, the wooden creche is a useful craft item that indulges your creativity. Wooden creche crafts vary from intricate table centerpieces to patio decor accents. Make your wooden creche craft your own by experimenting with a variety of materials and ideas.


Instructions


1. Snip the stems from five large silk flowers, making sure to leave only the blossoms. Such silk flower types can include roses, sunflowers, lilacs, lilies and virtually any type of flora you desire.


2. Apply a spot of hot glue to the back of each floral blossom. Attach the blossoms to the outer frame of the wooden creche. Place them anywhere that looks attractive to you.


3. Place the ceramic oil burner in the center of the wooden creche. Apply a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the top reservoir of the ceramic burner.


4. Place the tea light candle into the bottom part of the ceramic oil burner.








5. Light the tea light candle and place the centerpiece in the center of your dining table. This decorative piece illuminates your eating area with romantic candlelight and slight hints of fragrance. It also adds a bohemian touch to your home decor scheme.
