Crafting during the holidays is the perfect way to come together and create lasting memories. Our Christmas Nativity Tealight Holder is simple enough for little kids and pretty enough to appeal to bigger kids too.

8 Different Christmas Paper Luminaries To Choose From
The good news is that this free printable tea-light candle holder set includes eight different Nativity paper luminaries featuring classic Christmas characters. All of them come in black and white for kids to color and also pre colored. Kids can have fun making just one, two or them all!
Kids can choose from an Angel, Mary and Joseph holding Baby Jesus, 3 Kings (and each different wise man is wearing a different crown and is holding a different gift for Baby Jesus) and a selection of 3 sheep.
Each luminary is clearly outlined for kids to easily color and fold to make their simple and pretty tea light holder. Whether it’s a child’s first Christmas or a grown-up’s 50th, the use of battery-operated tea lights ensures that the craft is safe and there’s no need to worry about open flames or messy candle wax.

They might also enjoy adding a bit of glitter and bling with sequins, tinsel or bio-glitter too. Perhaps some gold accents to the white robes of the elegant angel, or some sparkling glitter to Mary and Joseph’s halos?
Step 2 – Cut and Assemble
Once the coloring is complete, carefully cut out each paper luminary.
Then fold it in half diagonally backwards along the dotted line so that the nativity character is on the front and glue it together.
Next, curl the two triangle points together to make a 3D figure that stands on its own. Glue the points together to leave a little circular space in the middle.
