As most of you know, Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE holiday. While I love to switch up my Christmas decor year after year, I don’t love to spend a fortune on decorations. I recently had a huge yard sale, and I was actually going to part ways with this vintage piece. I had used and styled it throughout my home for YEARS, so I thought it might be someone else’s turn to love it!
Wrong… LOL. This vintage piece was sitting near an old hymnal, and a lightbulb went off in my head! That is exactly how this ADORABLE little project was born!
Here is one example of how I styled it on my Spring built-ins. Come along with me and see how I transformed it into a rustic piece of Christmas decor!
I looove this shade of dark green, and I was so excited to transform it into a Christmas piece!
what you’ll need…
*tap on the bolded items to shop my affiliate links!*
- vintage piece from Anything Goes Trading Co.
- re-fabbed branded scissors
- re-fabbed hot glue gun/hot glue
- paint brushes (check out my faves!!!)
- apple barrel golden sunset
- mod podge
- mini wood star from Dollar General (came in a pack with various sizes)
- Christmas hymnal (or you can print out songs!)
- brown raffia
- sticks
- lighter
Away in a Manger was just the perfect hymn for this project… you’ll see why!
First, I ripped the edges of my Away in a Manger hymn and lightly burned each side with a lighter to give it an old, weathered look.
I brushed a light layer of Modge Podge onto the back and edges of the hymn to adhere to my vintage piece! Mod Podge, what would I do without you?!?
I hot glued sticks from my yard onto the sign using my re-fabbed hot glue gun to look like a manger.
I may or may not have panicked that it was looking like more of a house than manger at this point… but just wait until you see my finishes touches!
I painted my leftover star from this Fourth of July project with one of my Apple Barrel favorites, Golden Sunset.
I grabbed some brown raffia and made several loops before cutting both sides with my re-fabbed scissors to look like straw in the manger.
It’s time for the grand reveal… drum roll, please!!!
Adding the star and straw truly made all the difference, don’t you think?!?
You can make this on a piece of scrap wood, a canvas, or quite literally anything! I encourage you to go thrifting or junkin’ and pick up unique pieces like this. There are SO MANY possibilities! My job is to (hopefully) give you a little inspiration!

Hi Brooke! I love your page(s) and blog posts! This one is so cool! I love taking “junk” and making it “new” again by adding this and/or that to it!

You always have the cutest ideas!
I LOVE using old hymns in my crafts. Such a beautiful, simple piece.
Love this DIY! Especially with the hymn!
Wow! You had me at the beautiful green color to be honest! I just love everything about this. Any project using music especially old hymns make me swoon! Away in a Manger, how perfect; although like you, I thought it looked like a tiny house at first! ???? Brooke, it is so pretty! I am also happy to see you have more crafts listed using music that I can peruse! ????
Wow…this project is so inspirational. This year will be the first year that we won’t have the money to buy presents or do our traditional Christmas. This project has given me the inspiration to dig through my craft stash, and do a project like this! ????

I love this craft! Anything celebrating the birthday of our precious Savior ❤️
Absolutely beautiful! “Away in a Manger” and “Silent Night” give me cold chills when sung! Perfect display of the true meaning of Christmas!
I absolutely love this! Now this one, I think I can do! As far as the manger looking like a house, I think I may make one side of the roof a little longer than the other to give it more of a “barn” look. Now I’m on the hunt for something to use as the background!
Love this. I made one similar a few years back. Chose the same hymn.
I love homemade things! Cute!
That is so cute!!
Love!

I LOVE crafting with old hymnals. I was gifted one hymnal that’s so old it is starting to fall apart. I can’t bare to use any if it’s pages but rather use my newer ones and just use Tim Holtz ink to age them. This is a beautiful project Brooke!
Love this so much!

Away in a manger is one of my favorites
An adorable craft
One morning I woke up with the hymn” Great is Thy faithfulness “ playing in my mind! My grandson and I went to a thrift store that afternoon. I found an old hymnal, and there was a paper clip attached to one of the pages and it was the hymn “Great is Thy faithfulness “ Your craft just reminded me of this precious day!!!
I absolutely love this craft!! I’m definitely going to make this!!!
So creative, why didn’t I think of that. But wait, I have you to do it for me. Thank you ????

Always love your crafts with hymnals.
I just really love this. I got in hot water with your loyal fans several years back when I asked why you didn’t ever make any Christian Christmas crafts!!! Now I know you do!! And this one is really gorgeous. Perfect hymn choice; perfect addition of star and raffia; perfect use of the piece you almost let get away!! Thank you for this!
I really like the soft green color behind the manger and the hymnal page together. ❤️
Thank you! ????
Very cute! When I see the shape on the green piece I keep thinking of a church so it’s definitely a perfect combination!
