Making manger for baby Jesus
Believe or not, I make new stable for Christmas decoration every year.
Not so much into religion, but I can get mad about those decorations. I have my own ideas for that. It often starts very messy but ends nice.
Some say that Jesus was born in a cave, others say it was a stable. Let's make something that could look like one and the other. I'll try to make one that will last for next Christmas, too.
I need only few things:

First, put some glue on a piece of cardboard.
And also, put some glue on the cones, on the side that you decided that will be the bottom. Choose larger cones for lower parts. You must to intertwine the cones and that makes much easier to band them together. I do this very messy, there is glue everywhere. But this mess does not matter, everything will be masked with artificial snow.
When you put the glue for wood on any surface, I suggest that you leave it few minutes before you stick something on it! Then, put some weight on it and it will result with firmer connection.

Be patient and let the glue to dry. As I made a pause, I found some bark of tree and I already see where it will be useful.

And it still looks bad and very messy. Now it's the time for artificial snow! This thing will mask all glue around.
Then I cut little dry branch from pine and put it there as a tree.
I placed figurines in there just to check:
I also made this, I don't know what it is, but it will fit next to my manger:
