Stuffing Needlepoint Nativity Figures

Stuffing Needlepoint Nativity Figures

by Diane Roberts

I have spent a LONG time and finally finished a tiny Nativity... but I cannot find any instructions for stuffing and weighting them.

Paying for finishing is really expensive, but I don't want to do a crummy job myself.

Any help out there?

Thanks,
Diane

Weighting Figures
by: Trudy

In the past I have used dry beans to weight down figures I have made. Example, I made candy corns dressed in Halloween costumes. I put the beans in first (about 2"), then added fiberfill. This allowed them to stand upright without falling over. Please post pictures after you are done, they sound lovely.
