NATIVITY BERRY
Available for both silk gauze and linen! Be sure to specify which when you purchase from your retailer.
The holy family on a holy night, surrounded by stars and some of the traditional nativity creatures, either will do nicely as an ornament for your tree, wreath and other holiday décor.
I used felted wool to cap both berries, adding custom straight pins and/or tiny brass star charms.
