I was astounded to see yesterday that I now have 100 followers! Welcome to Loretta and Sherry who joined my little blog this week. And to celebrate I thought you might like this papercraft nativity set from the Christmas 1964 issue of Woman and Home magazine. You may have noticed I have rather a lot of old magazines and W&H is one of my favourites.
I love the simple style of these figures and really hope you will want to make one for your Christmas celebrations this year. I've scanned these pages but as I only have an ancient A4 size scanner I've had to piece the pages together a bit - the magazine was wider than the scanner. But you shouldn't have any problems as long as you make sure you don't tick the 'fit to page' box and just print as is. Here are the instructions.
To download these pages to your computer, right click the image, open in a new window and save to your hard drive somewhere you can find it easily. Its just the sort of thing I loved when I was a child and I would have been pleading with my Mum to hurry up and finish reading her magazine so that I could start cutting out!
Oh how darling, and a look at simpler days gone by.....Congrats on 100 followers, Ann! And thanks for sharing this sweet project!
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting this up Ann, it will be fun to make this with the grandchildren at some point.
ReplyDeleteI love them. Lucky you, I can see you smiling when you are going through all those magazines!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 100 followers Ann ('genuine' followers too which is wonderful...not blog candy chasers like the majority of mine lol....not that I give out candy any more haha) Have a great weekend xxx
ReplyDeleteYou mean to say you never made them the 1st time round ? I have just found a knitting pattern from Woman's Day April 20th 1959 for a 4 1/2 " bear that sis and I both knitted. Can't believe that I still have the pattern after all these years. Hugs Mrs A .v
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 100th follower, that's brilliant! Your nativity scene's lovely and takes me back a few years (cough, cough!), I might just print it out on cardstock and make it up myself. Thanks a million! Have a great Christmas...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ann, this is just lovely! I truly hope I can make them for Christmas this year:)
