Holiday decorations can be a very important part of a person or family’s Christmas season. One fun and traditional decoration is a snowy Christmas village. These setups are beautiful, and can be a wonderful way for a family to work together on a yearly Christmas decorating project. Pieces can be added each year which will add to the fun, or if your village is complete then yearly stories can be told telling about how the set was acquired. Christmas villages are traditional, stunning and can be set up in a variety of ways.
Buildings are the focal point of any Christmas village. During the season leading up to Christmas, village buildings and pieces can be purchased at various stores. Most stores start selling Christmas items in October. It is a nice idea to purchase many different styles, types and sizes of buildings. Different buildings create variety in a village and make it eye catching. Interest is kept while a person explores the many different facets of the village.
Snow is fundamental for a Christmas village. It is a key component for holiday decorations. Use quilt batting, sheets of white cotton, white wool, or polyester to create your snow. Batting is very attractive as snow since it can be pulled apart and fluffed up. This makes it look quite realistic when nestled around your village pieces.
Next, find a large area or table that is secure (a safe place is very important so there will be no worries about the Christmas village being knocked over) and cover it with a beautiful cloth or festive table cloth. Make sure the area you choose is in an area that gets seen. It is a lot of fun and work to set up a village. Therefore, the village should be seen and admired. Make sure and set up close to an electrical outlet as well. A lot of buildings and accessories will light up and need to be plugged in. Add your snow and then set up the buildings and accessories. Roads can be added by using black felt or construction paper that has been cut into strips. Play around with your roads and snow. It is fun to pile the snow in different ways to make it look more realistic. Once set up is complete add cars and snow plows to complete the scene. These can be found at dollar or toy stores.
