I think this project is a lovely unique take on a nativity set that many can appreciate. The manger is very simple and easy to assemble from just six pieces, but has some depth to accommodate Mary, Joseph and Jesus, as well as a small side room that you could use for a sheep if you like. The project is sized to fit conveniently on regular paper (the manger is divided onto two sheets), but you could enlarge it a bit if you wanted, as long as you adjust the notch width for the stands. I just tried to keep the figures in an ornament size.
In the size provided in the pattern, the manger stands about 8.5″ tall at the top of the star. The standing figures (kings & shepherd) stand about 3.5″ tall.
