ReplyDeleteOoh I have been thinking about making a nativity. Torn between polymer clay, crochet, or needle felting. Maybe I should go for that last one just because it wasn't on your list.
ReplyDeleteI read the perler bead nativity and scrolled down to comment and then I saw Coke can nativity, now I must scroll back up and see it.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I think the cinnamon stick one is my favorite.
