About this deal
Lie your card flat and draw the outline of the crown with some pencil; you can just do simple triangle cutouts. To secure the tabard, have your child put it over their head and then take either a length of leftover fabric, a ribbon, some rope or even a dressing-gown belt to tie it around their waist.

If you like, you could stop here with the tabard, but if you want to make it neater and more decorated then follow the next steps. Attach your ribbon or rope cord to a safety pin and feed it all the way through the gap above the hem.You can choose from all of the classic nativity characters with our outfits covering everything from the Shepherds and three Kings , all the way to Mary and Joseph. First, you'll need to make a tabard or tunic as the main piece of clothing that your child will wear. Christmas is the time for celebrations galore, and a common tradition for primary schools is to put on a Christmas Nativity play. Whatever Nativity character your Child gets chosen for, we at Smiffys hope they have an amazing performance and a fantastic festive season. Make a marking with pencil of where the two ends of cardboard need to meet, then staple them together.

You can then place a damp cloth on top and run a hot iron along the hem to bond the Wonderweb in place. If you want to add any details to the tabard, you can stick these on with Wonderweb too, whether it's some ribbon strips, some gold or silver stars, or sequins. The example in the picture is purple, but you can use any colour fabric you like (unless the school has given you specific instructions).If you're looking for some more ideas, or you have another child playing a different character, check out more of our nativity costume tips here.
