Here's a link to The Winfield Collection, they might have a pattern you like.

I did a google search and lots of sites came up--maybe you could look at one of them and figure out a way to do it. Here's one of them.

Good luck with your project and be sure to come back and share pics with us when you finish, okay?

Here's another link. You'd only need the stable and fencing. Maybe you could make a little raised platform out of the remaining plywood.

Aputernut what are the origins of your kings? They are magnificent!! DH and I took a trip to Bronner's this fall. #1 on my bucket list was a visit!! I am sooo embarrassed and feel so STUPID. I was not interested in the video of the history as I knew it and saw much on Youtube, so avoided the "Program room". I did peak in at one point and it was dark as a show was going on...The next day, an hour outside of Frankenmuth I began reading their literature. To my GREAT frustration I discovered in that dark room are cases of 150+ nativities from 50+ different countries!! I have been begging and the Bronner's Facebook page has begun posting pictures of some of them. Unfortunately they do not post as many Creche sets as they do ornaments. But they are not for sale--they are a private collection so I get it. ANYWAY I added a camel and cow to my outdoor set..and I am scouring ebay for a few more shepherds..there are some older characters out there I would love to get my hands on!! We also went to one large spot light. DH is very into cutting our wattage use DOWN. I have a star hanging on the back of the light pole, and we have enough snow to cover the blue extension cord so it is all very nice IMHO

Like the link below? It's a sheet for the base; 3 sheets for walls, screwed together at the butt joins; 2 sheets for the roof, screwed to the walls with a little collar tie to hold them together. If you wanted to be as fancy as the commercial one, you can edge join boards to form your sheets. Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: Nativity stable

A stable should be relatively easy thing to find, but you might be wise to take a couple of the figurines with you to be sure of the proportion. Hobby Lobby always seems to have them. I think the excelsior is way too deep and too much for the figurines that will be standing on the cabinet. A bit of it, scattered to look like straw, would be very effective, with more tucked in the stable. You might also consider stacking a book or two, coffeetable type books perhaps, covered with a drape of medium beige or tan burlap for texture, so that you can raise the stable up a bit in the background. Put some scattered excelsior on top of it to give the feel of hay, and also hide some of the edges of the fabric in the front. I would move the wall hanging to the other side - you want the eye to be directed into the cabinet area, and right now it draws your eye away because of the direction the figure is facing. I think the lamp is cute, but a pair of dark iron or other metal lanterns or candlesticks would go well. I would move the lamp to the other side if you move the wall hanging, and consider wrapping the shade with a temporary slipcover of burlap or even brown kraft paper, for a more natural feel.

Those sound pretty easy. Wish I could get DH to make me one . . . but then again, we'd most likely have a pack of coyotes move right in there!

Has anyone noticed how hard it is to even find a Nativity Scene out there now . Maybe a plastic one here and there but anything nice is hard to come by unless big money is spent .
As for your question , there is a house in the area that uses a wooden picnic table as the stable ...they put a star or angel on the top of the table and disquise the legs with evergreen branches .

I found these instructions which are for a small table top nativity stable. But it looks pretty easy and you could just use this as a pattern for a larger outdoor stable.
