About this deal
Fold your fabric in half and measure it to check it's the right length and size to fit your child comfortably. Make a marking with pencil of where the two ends of cardboard need to meet, then staple them together. To secure the tabard, have your child put it over their head and then take either a length of leftover fabric, a ribbon, some rope or even a dressing-gown belt to tie it around their waist. You can choose from all of the classic nativity characters with our outfits covering everything from the Shepherds and three Kings , all the way to Mary and Joseph.

You'll need about a metre and a half of fabric for the tabard, but you can always use more or less depending on your child's size.
