Make make a Christmas village from cardboard rolls: instructions
Draw windows and doors as you like on the cardboard rolls . This is best done with a tape measure, because you can flexibly apply this to the curvature of the cardboard rolls! Use a scalpel to cut out the windows and doors. Now cut the roofs made of craft and / or glitter paper fitting and glue with a little craft glue . The roof and the doors can also be cut out with silhouette scissors.
Finally you can decorate the houses. Here it is up to your taste how you want to design it. It would be conceivable, for example, to colorize the houses or beautify them with snow. To do this, apply a little glue to the spots that will later be snowed. Now you can apply artificial snow or a little cotton wool to the glue as snow or decorate the houses with decorative snow paste.
How to dress elegantly for Christmas
It looks especially great if you place LED tealights in the finished houses or decorate with fairy lights in the village . This gives the village a cozy atmosphere.
For the firs, cut three different large circles, optionally made of kraft and / or glitter paper , and divide them into eight pieces with a pencil. Next, use a folder over the pre-drawn lines to make subsequent wrinkles easier. Now fold the circles like a fan. First stick a bamboo skewer in the middle of the smallest circle. This will become the tree top. The next two sizes pierce the middle, creating a beautiful tree. Now you just have to drill a hole in a bark disc , use the skewer with some craft glue and a great Christmas tree is ready.
The trees and houses can now be arranged together and adorned and completed as desired by other accessories.
