1. Measure and cut 1 blue and 1 brown piece of felt measuring 4 x 23cm.
2. Print and cut out the template on page 8. Attach it to a piece of white felt with a pin. Cut out the felt using the template as a guide.
3. Fold over the white felt circle and cut it in half. Repeat Step 2 and 3 with a piece of yellow felt.
4. To create Mary, tightly roll the blue felt into a coil, pausing halfway to apply glue with a glue gun. Continue to roll the felt and apply a generous amount of glue to the end section. Allow to dry.
5. Apply glue to the top of the rolled felt, then attach a large wooden bead making sure the hole is facing up. Allow to dry.
6. Apply a generous amount of glue to one of the white felt semicircles.
7. Place the white felt glue side down on top of the wooden bead. Press the sides down as shown so it adheres to the wooden bead and blue felt. Allow to dry.
8. Cut a 15cm length of jute twine. Wrap it around the front of Mary’s head then secure it with a knot at the back. Trim any excess twine.
9. Repeat Steps 4 to 8 using the yellow and brown felt pieces to create Joseph.
