Away in a Manger: The Manger

Total Time 30 minutes or less
Ages all-ages
Here's the manger for Baby Jesus.
To get the instructions for making the entire manger, click here.
What you'll need
- Small cardboard tube
- Scissors
- Stapler
- Decorative moss (we used American Moss Natural by Fiberex) or raffia
How to make it
Cut a cardboard tube to a length slightly longer than your Baby Jesus. Next, cut it in half lengthwise. Trim an inch off the end of one half for the base.
Trim the base so it's narrower than the cradle. Staple together the pieces as shown, then bend down the cradle sides. Fill the bottom of the cradle (and later, the stable) with moss.
