You can make a scherenschnitt (the German word for silhouette), the same way the illustrators did for the pictures in Silent Night: The Song From Heaven. Just follow the easy directions below!


  1. Choose one of the images below and print it out
  2. With scissors, cut out the design (all of the black has to go).
  3. Fold a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" paper in half.
  4. Place the image on one half of the paper so that the right side of the design is against the fold.
  5. Trace the design onto the paper and cut out. Be careful not to cut through the fold.
