Use This Family Around the Manger Design
Use the family scene on a landscape sign or card, preserving room for all three figures rather than reducing only to fit the adults.
Transfer the Family Around the Manger Pattern
Print at 100% or “Actual size” and measure the 25 mm test line. Check the usable area of your card, sign or window before cutting. Secure the print to a suitable stencil sheet and transfer the outline. For painting, cut the black areas out of the sheet, then use light paint passes through those openings.
Black shapes are cut away. Keep all white areas and bridge connections intact. This design is rated Intermediate for its shape detail; your material and cutting tools can change how difficult it feels. Work on a stable surface and keep hands clear of the cutting path.
