How big would you like it to be?

I have an Italian one that is made of a stick frame with walls of - gosh, I don't know exactly what - dried tangly plant material that is fine, like very narrow broomstraw, but kind of naturally tangled together. It's about 8x10 inches if you measure the dimensions of the floor.

Thank you! I was looking for the stable inself, not just the manger but what you sent me was very cute. I was looking for normal size that you typically see, not the larger size, like the floor of it might be the size of vertical size of a cereal box or a little smaller, I iknwo I actually made one many years ago and it was pretty cool but I don't know how I did it now and I'm thinking I won't get it done. An easy way out is to ask my son to swap out his creche so I can use it just for photos on Christmas morning and then give it right back to him THank you!
