Nativity costumes made easy
You know Christmas is almost here when little ones arrive home clutching a letter with the news that you need to provide a costume for whatever starring role they have been given this year. The Nativity is almost upon us and however much we sigh at the thought of yet another costume there's no better feeling than watching your child singing along to ’Away in a Manger’ whilst angels fall off the stage and Mary bursts into tears because she doesn't want to sit next to Joseph.
Fiskars, makers of the best known and best selling scissors in the world suggest some quick and easy tips to create costumes with the minimum of fuss. Yes, you could pop down to the supermarket and buy one but it's just not the same. For their tips on making simple costumes, click on the Kids Makes
About the scissors
Fiskars Classic General Purpose scissors, £12.99 are perfect for this job and once you have a pair in the house, you'll find yourself using them for everything. Fiskars Pinking Shears create a zig zag pattern which means anything you cut won't fray; they are more expensive at £29.99 but will last for ever although Fiskars scissors come with a lifetime guarantee anyway.
Fiskars orange-handled Classic scissors have been popular for more than four decades and are probably what our OWN mothers used to create our costumes for us at this time of year, too!
