5 Simple DIY Nativity Crafts

imageA ₵entsible Christmas is not only about saving money. It’s about making the season count. It’s about spending less, giving more, building memories and focusing on the ONE that we celebrate.

Typically, we fail to make crafts with our kids because we either  A) don’t have the supplies on hand or B)lack  inspiration. 

The good news?  I have inspiration to share with you. The really good news?  The following Christmas crafts primarily consist of items you might already have on hand.  I am excited to share with you 5 Simple DIY Nativity crafts you can create with your children.
