These three small creches from my collection can also be found in Santi Auguri! . Creches such as these were often made up of two pieces: the front was cut and folded over, creating the side walls and back manger wall out of one piece of paper. The Virgin, Joseph, and Child, printed separately, would then be inserted in two holes on the side walls. This "Egyptian" creche was created in Photoshop from a manger sheet that can also be found in Santi Auguri!         A Crechemania creche created using a Guggenberger proscenium from Toy Theaters of the World and the beautiful figures of Christmas in Tyrol.
