DIY Paper Shadowbox Nativity Scene + Free SVG Cut File!

Hi everyone! In this week’s tutorial, we are creating a paper nativity shadowbox scene! The results of this project are beautiful!

[elementor-template id=”5167″]

Materials:

  • Card stock – the paper you use needs to have some thickness to it. I suggest white card stock for the inside and glitter or colored card stock for the stable.
  • X-acto knife (if you’re cutting by hand)
  • Fairy lights or other small lights
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • 1/4 inch thick foam core board or extra thick craft foam/fun foam to put between layers

Hi. I so want to do this with our kids at Sunday School, but I am having trouble with the svg file, the one with box. I don’t quire understand how to go about it with my Cricut Maker. I tried with the fine point needle at cut through the whole thing. I tried with the scoring tool, and it doesn’t look right. Could you make a video using Cricut for this? I could cut manually, but we have a lot of kids, so the Cricut would help. Thanks.
