Display Village Layout Tips While On Budget

By David King


Christmas display village makes the season magical and memorable. For kids around the home, this is an awe inspiring exhibition. For the entire family, you have a center for all activities during the season. The challenge is usually the cost of creating the presentation. This is why experts have developed budget Christmas display village layout tips to save you money without reducing the flare of the season.

A simple white base is all you require. The base can sometimes be too expensive yet it only needs to be white and will be covered by other items. The common practice is to use mold made of Styrofoam to give it a realistic appeal. However, such options as a clean canvas will still work or the use of an ordinary table cloth. Such improvisation will serve the purpose and in the process save you a lot.

Avoid working with a flat platform. Villages are usually hilly or feature an uneven terrain. With different levels, you have more room for creativity as well as innovating with colors and shadows to give the feeling of reality. You only need to place objects like boxes below the canvas. Some of these boxes can be what the houses and images on your village were packed in. Such raising gives you a third dimension that is magical.

There are numerous improvised trains you can use for your display. There is the traditional train that spews fake smoke throughout the village. However, it will be expensive since it is a seasonal decoration. Use trains made for other occasions. They will still do the trick by making the engine sound. It is the idea that matters.

A single white LED string can be used for lighting. Most people are into the habit of buying numerous color cords in the name of decoration. This makes your exhibition extremely expensive. A single white thread can be enhanced using trees, houses and the other objects that you have displayed. Even shadows and the white background can be used to create color effect.

Adding a water feature will create the magical effect. However, this artificial river should not be a reason to spend a fortune. Improvise by using ordinary white pipes available at home. Split the pipe into two and line it with a white paper. You only need a single river running strategically through your exhibition. Too much water will create an impression that Jesus was born in a swamp.

Embrace recycling and being innovative in your decoration. There are items you decorated with last year that could still be useful. This is one of the ways of cutting down on cost while gradually improving on the quality of your display. Other than buy new items every year, you will add on to what you have already acquired. You need to be good at preservation.

Be minimalist in your decoration and you will achieve excellent results. The villages are no supposed to hold all ideas in your head. They will appear crowded and lacking of taste. Your lighting will also be a nightmare if too many objects are placed on the canvas. Exercise your creativity but do not overdo it because the results will be disastrous.
