Creating A Christmas Display Village Layout

By Larry Wright


Christmas villages are the best displays to use during the festive season. Making such an exhibition can be tedious to someone doing it for the first time. Therefore, one should get a reliable source of information regarding the steps to follow to make the exhibition well. The following are tips for creating a Christmas display village layout to consider.

Select an ideal place to set up the display. Look for a place that has enough space to accommodate the display and makes the entire exhibition visible enough. The doorway to your sitting room can serve such a purpose accordingly, but most houses do not have enough spaces at the entrance. You can also decide to place it on top of the fireplace mantle since it is visible from all direction. Confirm whether there is a socket that you can use to connect your light displays.

Beware of the base that you choose. You have different places to place an exhibition. One can put it on a cabinet, a bookshelf or a hutch. Any flat position with support is suitable as long as there is a strong support to hold the weight of the exhibition. You should use plywood or any other sturdy material that one can shift from one location to the other.

Create a landscape. Look for a white felt drape to save on the costs spent buying a different material. The drape is suitable for concealing any connections or wires needed for exhibition. Ensure that it drops below the support to hide the support of the furniture used to hold the exhibition. One can use the cloth to create an impression of curvatures and hills in a particular place using plates and bowls.

Lay down the train tracks. Train tracks are one of the most common displays in a Christmas exhibition village. It should be placed first to hide any mechanic or chords needed to control the train on its track. Gather all the cords under the drape to conceal them to avoid tripping hazards later on when the exhibition is complete. The train should wind around the area and can also go through a tunnel that you have included.

Put the buildings appropriately. One can use as many building figurines as possible depending on the level of creativity and size of the exhibition. Place them along an impression of a street. Use different sizes of building to replicate different types of structures in real situations. They should depict a bank, post office, residential houses, among other familiar structures.

Light up the setup. Lighting up an exhibition makes it appear more real. Look for a long lighting cable with small bulbs to use in every structure. Such consideration will save the cost spent while buying different bulbs. Furthermore, this kind of lights are LEDs which are energy saving and do not require only one socket for connection.

Add a life scene. You should add miniature trees, people and animal figurines to create a lively scene. Creatively place them to make an accurate impression. Make the set up more creative by putting the people in various positions to indicate different activities such as removing ice and singing Christmas carols.
