This post is part two of my adventure painting a tiny Christmas Village. In the above picture, you can see the curtains I added to the houses and the stained glass windows I added to the church. (You can click on any of these pictures to enlarge them).
I had already decorated my kitchen table for Christmas, but by the time we ate off of it a few times, the tablecloth needed washing, so I decided to use another favorite tablecloth and do a totally different looking table. This tablecloth is made of a soft flannel and is covered in a snowy Christmas scene. I decided to use the tiny Christmas village I had just completed as my centerpiece.
I found this cute picket fence at Hobby Lobby. I decided to use batting for the "snow." I traced around the fence and cut it to size.
I already had a few trees, but I bought some more at Kmart. You can also find these at Michaels and Walmart.
I wanted sugary, magical candlelight to go with my village, so I applied tacky glue (slightly diluted with water) to my candles and then poured clear glitter on them and shook off the excess.I also did that to the rim of the votive holder.
This is how they turned out:
I added the trees and a snowman to complete the scene. I placed battery tea lights inside the church and the houses to give them a nice glow.
This is an aerial view of my new real estate. The snowman sees us.
