Getting Started with Your Fontanini Nativity Scene

Setting up a Fontanini nativity scene is a cherished tradition for many families. With the right backdrop and figures, you can create a serene and reverent display. This guide focuses on three key pieces: the 9" Backdrop for the 5" Fontanini Nativity Stable, the 5-inch Fontanini Baby Jesus in Manger figure, and the 5" Scale Jamie, Boy Farmer Nativity Figure.

What You Need

• Backdrop for 5" Fontanini Nativity Stable: This luxurious 9" backdrop provides the perfect setting for your Fontanini 5" Nativity collection. Crafted with the highest quality materials, it renders a scene of unparalleled beauty and elegance. The backdrop sets the visual tone and frames the stable scene, making it the foundation of your display.

  

• 5-inch Fontanini Baby Jesus in Manger figure: This classic 5-inch Fontanini Baby Jesus in Manger figure beautifully captures the humble and sacred moment of the Nativity. Crafted with expert attention to detail, it adds a meaningful centerpiece. The Baby Jesus figure is the focal point of any nativity scene, drawing the eye and the heart to the Christmas story.

  

• 5" Scale Jamie, Boy Farmer Nativity Figure: This 5-inch scale Jamie, Boy Farmer nativity figure captures a classic pastoral character with detailed craftsmanship. Perfectly sized for standard nativity scenes, it adds a realistic and humble touch. Including figures like Jamie enriches the scene with the farming community's role, adding depth and authenticity.

Step-by-Step Arrangement

Follow these simple steps to arrange your Fontanini nativity scene. The exact placement is a matter of personal preference, but these guidelines help create a balanced and meaningful display.

1. Position the Backdrop: Place the 9" backdrop at the rear of your display area. It serves as the scenic background for the stable, evoking the wonder and majesty of the Christmas story.
2. Set the Stable Structure: If you have a Fontanini stable, position it in front of the backdrop. The backdrop is designed to pair with the 5-inch scale stable, creating a cohesive setting.
3. Place the Baby Jesus in the Manger: Set the 5-inch Baby Jesus in Manger figure at the center of the stable. This becomes the focal point of the entire scene, representing the humble birth of Christ.
4. Add Supporting Figures: Arrange figures like Jamie, the boy farmer, around the manger. Jamie's detailed craftsmanship and authentic attire bring a sense of historical and cultural reverence to the display.

Tips for a Balanced Display

Consider the scale of your figures. All three pieces are designed for the 5-inch Fontanini collection, so they will be proportionally correct. Place the backdrop at the back, the stable in the middle, and the figures in the foreground. You can add other Fontanini figures to complete the scene, such as shepherds, angels, or the Holy Family. The goal is to create a serene setting that evokes the wonder and majesty of the Christmas story.
