How Do You Make an Outdoor Nativity Silhouette?
Creating an outdoor Nativity Silhouette is a great way to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ during the Christmas season. The Silhouettes are simple to make, require very few materials and look great against the night sky. To create your own outdoor Nativity Silhouette, you will need: a piece of plywood, a jigsaw, sandpaper, black craft paint, a paintbrush and an image of the Nativity scene.
Begin by cutting out the plywood into the desired size and shape for your Silhouette. Use a jigsaw to make any intricate cuts.
Once you have cut out your piece of plywood, use sandpaper to smooth any rough edges or surfaces. Make sure you wipe away any dust after sanding before beginning the next step.
Next, use your image of the Nativity scene to trace onto your plywood using a pencil or marker. Be sure to leave enough room between each figure so that when you paint them black they will remain separate from one another in Silhouette form.
After tracing, start painting each figure with black craft paint and a brush. Depending on how detailed you want your Silhouette to be, use multiple layers of paint for more definition in each figure’s features.
Once all of your figures are painted and completely dry, hang up your Nativity Silhouette outside using nails or screws in a spot where it will be visible at night against the sky. If desired, add some battery-operated lights around it for extra flair!
