Fairy Garden Christmas Village

Christmas

Over the summer, we went to the Kentucky State Fair and spent a fair amount of time looking at Fairy Garden entries in the Fairy Garden Competition. How’s that for a sentence? Anyhow, the kids loved looking at all the tiny items tucked into the Fairy Gardens. Small homes hidden below plant leaves and tiny boats in little puddles. I’ve never been into fairies as a cartoon character, but I can totally get on board with Fairy Gardens.

That summer experience became the inspiration for our Christmas Village this year. It’s a loose take on the Fairy Garden concept by tucking the tiny ceramic buildings in and around houseplants on the buffet. This is by far my favorite Christmas Village. In years past, I’ve always just lined up the village in a line, placed on fake snow. Here are few tips, for a magical Christmas Village.

Fairy Garden Christmas Village : Tips

#1. Vary the heights of the buildings by using cake pedestals, bowls, and other serving ware.
#2. Use pillow filler as fluffy snow.
#3. Lay crocheted lace down as the snow covered streets.
#4. Set up a focal scene in the center of the village.
#5. Mix in houseplants as greenery, like trees and plants that you would find in a real village.
#6. Use a cloche or cheese dish to highlight a special item.
#7. Include some lampposts or lit houses for light.
#8. Mix village sets! They don’t have to match.

    What a fun set up especially for the kids. I love the idea of adding leaves and plants and snow to make it more ‘real’. I’ve never done anything like this – it is really creative.
