ReCreating for Christmas – Nativity candle holder

I’ve recently learnt to use a scroll saw which opens up a whole new world of design! As a “rookie”, I’m just using up scraps of wood from my husband’s work shed at the moment while I practise.

This nativity candle holder is made in pine. Because the figures fit together like a jigsaw, there was no room for error in the cutting! The base piece allows for the figures to either stand within each other, or to be separated.

I also made the white nativity below from 16mm melamine offcuts and painted the raw edges. The contrast faces are cut from unlaminated 3mm mdf, painted with a satin finish.
