How to make an Easter Diorama for Church

When we lived in the UK for 5 months, we visited several cathedrals around Easter time. We saw these gorgeous dioramas on display and knew we had to come home and recreate one here. I had never seen one before, and had a hard time finding anything on Pinterest, so I thought I would share our creations!

Every year, our family signs up to decorate the church for a month, and this year we made sure we signed up for Easter!

Here’s the scene we saw in a church in Barmouth, Wales.

Then, we visited, St. Asaph, the smallest Cathedral in Britain, in northern Wales.

Because I am a project manager, and have no real artistic abilities, our diorama was created by my husband and his sister.

Based loosely on the pictures we had taken in Wales, we gathered rocks of all shapes and sizes, and combined it with gravel, craft moss, the heads of silk flowers.

Underneath, you can’t see, but the hills are buckets and even our camping cooler, plus some Thomas the Tank mountain pieces. This is all topped with a green tablecloth, and then brown fabric that was to wrap roses!

The end result, is pretty spectacular, I think!

We added a spotlight and some purple tulips to the backdrop, and will use some figurines from a couple of different nativity sets, to tell the story for later in Holy Week leading up to Easter morning.

I am so proud of their creation!

Easter Bouquet

I concentrated on an Easter bouquet for the Communion Table. I used pussy willows I had collected a few years ago, and combined them with jellybean pussy willows I made the last time I was on Easter decorations!
