- Hello TH-cam family,
This video is a continuation of the live stream title "Christmas Village Forum III). In this video I am completing the set up for the technique I showed to create this base. Please like, subscribe, and share. Also, comment me if you have any questions on anything. God bless you all.
You are the Queen of Christmas Villages and so thankful for the graciousness of your time, dedication and love to help fellow village makers both beginners and seasoned pros with your new and exciting ideas. Bless You, Miriam!
Aw, thanks so much Robin! You are so very welcome, it is my pleasure to be able to help! 😃
I so wish that you were my next door neighbor...but I will be putting everything that I've learned from watching your videos into my "submission"...GOD Bless and thank you
That would be dangerous if we were neighbors. 😃🤣. We would go broke and only talk villages. 😂🤣😂.
I look forward to seeing your video submission. God bless you too! 😃
Hi Miriam,
You did an awesome job sharing the basics of setting up a village. With that knowledge, people can add their own creative flair and make a display that suits their own personal tastes. I think one of the biggest mistakes people make when they're doing something creative is to constantly compare themselves to others. That and trying to copy exactly what another person has already created. Videos like these should inspire us and allow us to create what speaks to us. We need to also remember it's a process. The more you work at it, learn from is and try new things, the better you will become. Creativity needs to be a joy and not a burden. Listen to your heart. Know what makes you smile. Create with reckless abandon. That last comment is from a papercrafting TH-camr I've been watching for years. Just have fun people. OK, I'm getting off my soapbox now. Wishing all the best to you and yours.
😃😂😃. Amen!! That is always my goal, to offer inspiration that people can make their own. Crafting should always be fun, if it’s not, it’s time to take a break.
This is sooooooo helpful to newbies like me. You have taught me a lot about making a village. I just cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate all of your help. Thank you again.
Aw, I am so thankful to hear I have been able to help. That words have warmed my heart this morning. You are very welcome! 😃
I have been watching you for two years and I enjoy every video you make. I am getting ready to get things out of the closet and see what all I still need. I have my fall decorations out and can not wait for winter. God bless you and stay safe.
Thanks so much Michelle, that is so sweet of you. I just pulled out all my my bins as well. I am hoping to get my base up by tomorrow. I am clearing out my space in my front room today. I’m sooooo excited!! 😃
@@MiriamsManner I am praying that I get the money together for you so you have time to make the mountain for three houses.I am trying to save all I can get together.
Okay, sounds good. Just let me know and I will carve out time to get started on it.
I find your videos inspiring and addicting lol!
😂🤣😂 thank you very much!
Keep the videos coming Miriam! It's my rookie season as and I'll be documenting my progress as a first timer. Thanks again for the great advice :)
Hello Mark,
Thank you so much! I definitely will have more tutorials and videos coming in the near future. 😃. You are going to do great! Will you be joining the contest?
@@MiriamsManner Hopefully I will be entering one of them. As long as it looks presentable lol. Quick question. What type of glue do you use to fuse two pieces of Styrofoam together? Thanks Miriam!
I use Elmer’s school glue, it works great and is cheap for a large bottle.
You can use any white glue that you have on hand. Mod Podge, styrofoam glue, elmers glue.
@@MiriamsManner Perfect. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Hi, thanks a lot for your detail instruction. very useful and I hope to see more videos like this :)
Hello Ly, thank you so much!
You absolutely will see more videos like this. I am getting ready to start my main village and I am going to release several videos with step by step instruction for that one.
Stay tuned! 😀
I've been watching your videos for a couple of months and feel like I'm finally ready to get my platform started 😍 I collect the Hawthorne Village Harry Potter series and feel like a couple of small modifications of this particular platform will be perfect for the Hogwarts grounds/moving toward Hogsmeade village. Thank you for the inspiration!
Hello Keira,’thanks so much for watching. I’m glad this helped and could offer some inspiration.
One of subscribers started a TH-cam channel and she also does a Harry Potter village. She built some pieces for her village and used some green in her platforms and it looked amazing. I will copy part 1 and 2 of her Harry Potter village. Maybe that can also offer some inspiration since it is the same village series.

@@MiriamsManner thank you so much for letting me know! I'm going to check them out right now!
You are very welcome! Glad to help! 😃
Awesome video ( as always )! thanks alot for explaining and we cant wait for the next one already! Love from the Dutch Christmas village builders!
Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate that! 😃
Beautiful, love it love it!!!!💕💕💕
Thanks so much Maria! 😃
Thanks a lot… excited to see all the entries.. wish i could join but i think i will not be making my village this year… i love all your techniques… ❤️❤️❤️thanks again
Hello Lou,
Thanks so much! I am excited to see the entires as well. I’m sure we will be doing this again next year if you want to participate next year. 😀
Would you please do a video on how you got the trains for the village? what do you look for in a train? The trains I see in the stores seem too large for the scale. Thank you.
Hello,
I am not that educated on trains to give good advice. I can tell you that I have an HO scale train but I’m not a big fan of it. It is too small for my villagers and mine details a lot. I would rather have an O scale train which is a little larger. I feel like this is a better size for the village and the trains are a little heavier and from what I hear don’t derail as often.
There are a lot of model railroaders on TH-cam who can give you much better info and do a great job of breaking down the differences of the trains.
I want to create my village more going upwards than width wise any suggestions on where I start I am from the uk and absolutely love all the videos
Hello Mandy,
I am also using levels in my village this year. There are lots of ways to accomplish this. You can build a base out of styrofoam or wood. If you want an easier option, you can always use books, or sturdy bins and cover them with a snow blanket. Wood pallets is another great way to go because they have slats in them already to drop your cords through.
Hope this helps! 😂
@@MiriamsManner thank you will definitely be watching eagerly how you do it I have loads of styrofoam so that’s not a problem will keep you posted on how I get on
Hi Miriam I am a newbie to your site but love your work. I have been a village for quite some time but never used a train. I am looking at 40X50 train track and using it on a 4X8 sheet of MDF, would that work? I am wondering if it would be to close to the front of the Village and to close to the end of the MDF. Please advise
Hello Cindy,
Thank you so much. If your train track is 40” wide, you would have 8 inches left in the front of the board if you set the train all the way towards the back. Or, you can float it in the middle and have 4” left on both sides.
It won’t affect the train if it is close to the edge. I had my train right on the edge in the front of my village last year. It is just a personal preference on how you are designing your village layout.
@@MiriamsManner Ty so very much, I am truly inspired by you and your creativity . I so wanted to do this train for my grandsons. I thank you so very much for getting back to me and so very quickly.
You are very welcome!
WHAT IN THE CHRISTMAS VILLAGE is THAT TOOL you are using to carve the rock formations?????
It is a sculpting tool from Hot Wire Foam Factory. You can contact my rep to order. Her name is Pat and her number is (443) 455-6554
Need help. 4x8 sheet of mdf with a 40x50 train track will that work
Yes, that will work, I just responded to your other comment.
We’re did you get all of the department 56
Hello, I think there were 3 dept 56 buildings in this set up. The rest were Lemax and O’Well. All of those pieces I bought used either from offer up or Facebook marketplace.
Do you rebuild this base each year, or just store it all together?
Good morning,
The village I made titled “Christmas. I’ll she set up part 2), I made so that I can take it apart to store it more easily. It will be easy to reassemble next year.
Some of my other builds like the mountain, and ski slope stays as one unit.
How do I add a video or picture to this forum?
Hello Cindy,
You aren’t able to add a video or picture to my TH-cam but you can always send me a pic through Instagram or through email. My email address is miriamsmanner@gmail.com and my Instagram is @miriamsmanner.
@@MiriamsManner I will at some point send my pictures to you via your email. I would also like to video my husband doing the electrical portion, it might not be for everyone but I want to share how you could possibly be eliminating many wires . Thank you We truly do appreciate you!!!
Thanks so much!
