Here is my latest felt creation called The Holy Family. I have fine-tuned my pattern pieces (like the beard/mustache combo) and used several symbols. The prickly holly leaf represents the crown of thorns that Jesus will wear and the red holly berry represents the drops of blood he will shed for us. The candle symbolizes how he is the light of the world and the cross that Joseph is holding just symbolizes how Jesus triumphed over death. It's a little bit putzy to cut out all the pieces and sew it all together, but the kids are loving the results.
