Creating 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.

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.

Make the landscape. Using a white felt drape is the easiest way to create a perfect view. You can use it to conceal every object that you use to create the view and create holes to pass through the electrical cords. You can also manipulate it into different shapes and creases to make different impressions. Make impressions of hills and curvatures using bowls and plates.

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.

Place the buildings accordingly. Use buildings of different shapes and sizes according to the concept you have in mind. Arrange the structures along a street to depict a real town or village. The building can represent a post office, residential houses, banks and even hospitals. You need to be creative enough to make the exhibit as real as possible.

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.
