Few Christmas characters are as iconic as the shepherds from the nativity scene. Every year, churches and school productions come alive with the sight of shepherds in their costumes, ready to welcome the baby Jesus.
If you’re planning on joining in the fun this year, you’ll need to get your hands on a shepherd costume. Fortunately, these costumes are surprisingly easy to make!
All you need is some basic fabric, a sewing pattern, and a few other craft supplies. With the right materials and a bit of creativity, you can put together a shepherd costume that is as unique as you are. And if you don’t have the time to make your own, there are plenty of places where you can buy pre-made costumes
.
Either way, you’ll be ready to take part in the nativity scene in style! With the right costume, you can join the shepherds in their timeless tradition of welcoming the newborn King.
Genius!! I am so making some of these for the puppets at church to wear! Too bad I didn’t see this earlier, as the puppets had to be shepherds this morning. Thanks!!
