How To Create A Christmas Display Village Layout

By Larry Wright


Village exhibitions are one of the best decorations that one can use during the Christmas period. They require a lot of creativity and commitment to make them look appealing. Even so, you should consider a few aspects to create an exhibition that meets your expectations. Here are a few thoughts to ponder on when making a Christmas display village layout.

Start by selecting an ideal location for the exhibition. An excellent exhibition place must be visible by the guests the moment they step inside your room. You can create a space near your space if the sitting room layout allows such consideration. The fireplace can also be suitable but fits for temporary displays. Ensure that the area is big enough and there is a socket to connect the lighting display.

Choose an ideal base. Most people use furniture such as the hutch, cabinet and a bookshelf to support the exhibition. They can offer an excellent service especially if they have a sturdy surface. Conceal a frame with two-by-fours support with a tablecloth. Your main focus should be a support that is sturdy enough and can hold up a large exhibition since they are too expensive to break.

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.

Set up the train tracks. Trains are very common in Christmas exhibitions. You should start by laying down the tracks to conceal various control cables beneath the drape to avoid causing hazards. The train can go around the exhibition or through your buildings depending on the size of your display. Create an impression of a tunnel by placing a hollow wooden frame and lay the track inside it.

Place the buildings appropriately. The buildings that you decide on can set a stage story of a particular theme. Group the structures together along a street to create a perfect impression of a real village. Every building should have different uses. You can decide to set up a post office, a bank, a couple of businesses and some residential places. Do not be afraid to mix different buildings with different designs and sizes.

Use the correct lighting process. Purchase a long stretch of lighting which can fit your whole display. Use LED lighting which saves on the energy to use and has small bulbs that can fit in every building. The light should illuminate in different colors depending on your choices. Improvise the lights by adding snow on top of a bulb to create an extra glow.

Add a scene of life in your exhibition. Life appears in such an exhibition when you add forms of miniature animals, trees and people. You should place them in layers according to your creativity. Include scenes such as people interacting, doing various activities and many more ideas to make the exhibition more appealing.
