A Christmas Nativity made with the help of Proxxon Tools
Yes the Christmas Season is now officially here, we all made it through Thanksgiving and all of the food that comes with it. I would like to show you how I made a wonderful Nativity with the help of some of my trusty Proxxon Tools.
Supplies needed for this project:
Proxxon Jig Saw Proxxon Sander
1 Medium Martin Gourd with a thick neck
pencil and eraser
Small nativity scene
light with cord
small piece of lightweight wood cut into a round piece.
Acrylic paint
glue
straw
glitter and glitter paint
sealer
To begin this project I drew the portions that needed to be cut out unto the gourd. I then cut them out with the Proxxon Jig Saw. I sanded any areas that might need it with my Proxxon Delta Sander. Then I got down to the business of turning this gourd into a Nativity! I taped off the bottom of the gourd and painted the upper portion of it with a Prussian Blue acrylic paint and finished off the inside with glitter, glitter and more gold glitter! I then drilled the hole for the light and also put up a small barrier in front of the light to block too much light from shining out into someones face. I glued the round wooden piece to the inside of the gourd. I painted the round piece a tan color. Make sure that you seal and then seal again, the inside and outside of the gourd. Once that is done you can safely put your straw down with some glue and the nativity also.
I know the pictures aren't going to do this piece justice because it is just beautiful. Once everything was glued in place with E6000 glue I let it dry and then put down some straw and the nativity scene.
Isn't this so pretty? I'm in love with it.
Here's how it looks with the lights out. This piece is just very special and is going to be loved

Very nice. I have done these with several different inserts. Not only lovely to see, I love making them as well. I have not used a plug in on these but a good idea. Very nice work.
