Mini snowboarder is to be a king in the pre school nativity....*proud*...but he needs a costume...help! I'm not really very 'crafty' - cant sew - but would like to make rather than buy so he can help me. Any ideas from seasoned Christmas nativity mums? I can imagine this will be the first of many costumes....ugh....I hate fancy dress!!

Awwww SB, make sure you take tissues. He'll be so cute.


So, look for charity shop velvet curtains as a cloak - just tack some ribbon on the top edges to tie it with; use one of your old glittery/silky dresses or tops underneath and get some silver/gold card to make a crown. You can either get 'jewels' from a craft shop (Mr Green in DV sells them I think) or you can make some from painted pasta, or bits of coloured sweetie paper bet mini SB involved if you think he'll enjoy it. PVA glue is your friend :)


I'm sure others will be along with better ideas than me, but didn't want to read & run.

The supermarkets have responded to this and do costumes for under a tenner

At the school where I taught for centuries we made a 'nativity' set of costumes and just got them down and reused them every year. No hassle for parents or staff...but laundering heaps of mucky costumes, that I don't miss!

    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
