I thought it would be fun to craft my own set. And why not share it? You can do this yourself or let your kids (6+) get crafty. Have fun!

Within the last two years my nativity set has been downloaded so many times. In fact: over 16.000 times.
It's completely free for you to use but if you can spare a little, I would be incredibly grateful.

F.A.Q.
Do I have to pay for your nativity set?
No, it's free. If you do feel that it's worth a small donation, I would be very grateful! A lot of hard work has gone into this. You can find the donation button at the top of this page.
I'm a teacher. Can I use this nativity set in my class room?
Yes, you can!
I want to sell prints of your nativity set. Is that okay?
No, absolutely not. I give this set away for free (eventhough it has cost me weeks of work) so it's not okay for you to sell them.
I want to blog/write/publish about your nativity set. How do I do that?
I would love it if you write about it! :)
What I ask in return is credit. So please mention my name (Marloes de Vries) and my website (www.marloesdevries.com).
If you need more information or have any questions, you can write me an email at hello (at) marloesdevries.com. I will give you all the information you need.
It's not allowed to claim these designs as your own.
Wat een leukertjes!!!! Ik ga ze met Edward knippen, print ik ze wel een keer voor hem en voor mij uit, knippen met een kindje van twee is toch een echte uitdaging, hihi.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDelete@ Nancy Kers: Ja, dat knippen is een precies werkje, toch wel lastig voor een 2-jarige denk ik! Maar ik ben blij dat je ze leuk vindt!
ReplyDelete@ dreamduke: thanks :D
oh wat leuk. Dit deed ik ook met mijn mams en zusje toen we klein waren. We hadden een boekje met dit soort figuurtjes. Was altijd zo leuk om te doen. Wat mooi en wat een leuk idee ^^
ReplyDeleteIk knutselde ook altijd, alleen ik had niemand om het samen mee te doen (mijn familie is niet echt creatief).

ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
So cute..!
ReplyDeleteThank you! We had a lovely time making these today when the cousins came over here in Utah. Thank you for sharing. Have a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOMG this is so CUTE! But I can't download it, it says the user is out of bandwidth! :'(
ReplyDeleteThat is my problem, too. I can´t download it. Can you fix it?
ReplyDeleteI have added some links to the files on Wetransfer. So if the Box download doesn't work for you, please try the other link.
ReplyDeleteHoi Marloes, allebei de links voor de ingekleurde variant zijn van the box... dus hij doet het nog niet... en ik wil ze zo graag maken, want ze zijn zo leuk!
ReplyDeletegroetjes,
Liefke
My 7 year old has kept busy all day coloring and cutting these to give as a gift to his grandparents. I couldn't download them either, but they printed right from the download page. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWetransfer Link for the pre-coloured PDF is wrong. please check.
ReplyDeleteHet klopt dat de ingekleurde PFD beide geopend worden in Box ipv Wetransfer. Ze zijn enig en ook ik zou ze graag willen maken met de kids in de kerstvakantie. Hopelijk kan het opgelost worden. Dank je wel alvast voor het delen hiervan!
ReplyDeleteI think everything is resolved now. I hope it works. If not, please let me know!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's so cute!!!!
ReplyDelete...ooh, wat jammer dat ik zo laat ben! Zo leuk dit, ik heb een linkje op mijn blog geplaatst naar jou. Ik hoop dat je dat goed vindt!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteHallo Marloes,
ReplyDeleteIk ben altijd op zoek naar mooie ideeën die weer kunnen aanzetten tot nieuwe inzichten. Deze knutselplaten vindt ik weer zo'n voorbeeld. Prachtig!
Buenisimo, gracias, ya veo como me sale para esta Navidad. Nina
