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!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
