DIY Christmas Nativity Ornaments with Free Cut Files

Looking for a gift to give or some new decor? These Nativity ornaments are an easy DIY craft that you can make with a few supplies and your Cricut or other cutting machine. Free nativity silhouette files!

Nativities are one of my favorite aspects of Christmas. They are beautiful reminders of the true reason for the Christmas season.

This project will allow you to make beautiful Christmas ornaments that incorporate the Christmas Story!

Will I Use Design Space?

One of the best features of the Cricut is its software: Design Space. By purchasing these Nativity images, you don’t have to worry about finding Christmas images from Design Space presets or picking out your own. Simply upload our images into Design Space and the rest is a cinch.

Does It Matter Which Cricut Machine I Use?

The good news is that all Cricut machines cut vinyl! For this project, you’ll be printing out Nativity images onto vinyl, then transferring to the ornaments. At the end of the day, any model of Cricut will get the job done.

You can also use another cutting machine, like a Silhouette, or just print out the files and cut them yourself!

Where can I get the Nativity Silhouette files?
