If you are looking for a creative way to decorate your home, a Ceramic Christmas Village is the way to do it.
You can take your ceramic Christmas Village in any number of directions. You can buy a ceramic village set, you can combine your own ceramic village elements to make a unique scene, or you buy a set and add other figurines, so it grows in size and personality each year.
This article will provide advice on how to create a ceramic Christmas village that will look delightful in your home.
Christmas Village Ideas
There are several types of holiday scenes you can recreate with your ceramics. Here are a few ideas.
• North Pole Village: This can be created with ceramic workshop buildings, a ceramic Santa and Mrs. Claus, ceramic reindeer, ceramic elves, and other things you will find at the North Pole.
• A Classic Christmas Village Scene: A classic Christmas village scene will feature a church, shops displaying Christmas items, shoppers, children at play and more.
• A Nativity Scene: Not quite a village, a nativity scene will include the manger, Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus, the wise men, the farm animals, and the angel.
• Fairy Tale Scene: You can make your village into a fairy tale scene with castles, princesses, princes, kings, queens, and villagers.
• Silent Night Scene: A Silent Night scene will show homes illuminated with soft lights with fallen snow around the eaves. It is best not to put people in these scenes. The idea is that everyone is asleep and waiting for Santa.
Where to Place Your Ceramic Christmas Village
Your Christmas village will take up a bit of room in your home and it will need space to grow. It’s best to place it on a large table or a shelf. If you have young children or pets, be sure to keep it in a safe spot where they can’t access it and potentially break it.
Caring for Your Ceramic Christmas Village
Ceramic is a delicate material. Clean it carefully using a soft brush and treating stains gently.
Wrap each piece individually before storing them for the holiday season. Place them in a cool dry place. Be sure to keep them in an area where they won’t topple over or become damaged in any way.
A ceramic Christmas village can be the star of your decorations. Now that you know how to create one, where to display it and how to store it, you are ready to take your holiday design to the next level. How will your village inspire you to make an impressive display?
