Christmas Printable: A Child is Born

I love Christmas. I love Christmas Carols, decorated trees, lights that brighten yards and homes, Christmas memories, and just the warmth and coziness of Christmas. When Kristen at Ella Claire asked me to join a round-up of Christmas printables, I couldn’t resist. I thought about what I’d create for you, and on Thursday last week I had my answer. My daughter gave birth to a bouncing baby boy on a stormy night and I knew my printable would be “For Unto Us a Child is Born.”

For me, Christmas isn’t Christmas without the birth of Christ. Every Christmas morning we read aloud the passage from the Bible about Jesus’ birth … the same one Linus recites in the Peanuts Christmas special.

 

I glued my Christmas printable to a piece of bead board, but you could print it and frame it if you prefer. I added glitter and a bronzed pine cone garland.

 

All you need for this project is a piece of bead board, the printable (which you can download at the end of this post), Mod Podge, and some glitter.

 

My piece of bead board was already painted, so all I had to do was spread a thin coat of Mod Podge glue onto the back of the printable, and then attach it to the board. Use a credit card to carefully smooth out any bubbles. I brushed a bit of Mod Podge around the corners and sprinkled on glitter.

 

I added a mercury glass ornament …

 

or two …

 

… and a glittery white ornament to make a festive vignette.

 

A glittery bird rounds out the Christmas arrangement.

 

My free Christmas printable was inspired by the birth of my daughter’s son, so this little sign will be a reminder of yet another holiday memory that I’ll treasure for years to come!
