- Hello UA-cam Villaging Family,
Please enjoy part three of my Christmas village set up for 2021. If you have any questions for me, please leave me a line in the comment section. God bless you!
I love the paper roads. Wonderful idea
Thanks Ron! 😁
I think one of the things that makes your villages so beautiful is definitely the exquisite variety and colour of plants/trees you use. Makes your village “pop” so much. Thank you for these videos!
Thanks so much, I appreciate that! 😁
Miriam you are my hero! Merging my two biggest loves - Christmas villaging and Notre Dame. Go Irish!
😂🤣😂. That is awesome! I’m glad we found each other. Go Irish!
Hi 👋 wow you’re a village Queen. You are fixing everything very beautiful.I hv a few buildings I never know how to star you are really giving me an idea thank you 🙏🏻 very much you are very clever.
Thank you so very much! 😀
Oh my goodness! You are hands down the best at showing how to ACTUALLY put it all together! Why I'm just finding this a year later, I'll never know. I will be watching all of your videos from this day forward! God bless!
Aw, thanks so much! That is so sweet of you to say! So glad you love the content. 😁
Wow Miriam, you are the undisputed Queen of Christmas Villages! I wish I had more room to build a village but have to settle for a small table I have from my dining room instead. Can't wait to see you start on the back half of this village and see the finished product. You totally ROCK this stuff!
😂🤣 thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Hopefully I will be able to finish the back half sooner than later.
I am all about the greenery as well so you have done a fantastic job at doing it as well as all of the color. Just beautiful 😍
Thank you so very much! 😁. I just love lush landscape. I slowly transforming my backyard overtime into a colorful oasis.
I love the Christmas village.
Thank you. Hopefully I will finish it in a few more weeks.
Thanks for the ideas for the tree that’s help me for my Christmas village
You are very welcome! 😀 I’m so glad it helps you.
Hello lady, I live in the Caribbean and have often admired these displays on TV, for the 1st time I've decided to try a small village, well I came across your video and I'm soooo impressed. I'll make a start and maybe in 10 years, I'll be up to a fraction of a similar display. Inthe meantime I'll admire and enjoy yours😁 . Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so very much. Happy villaging. 😁
Well my cord still show. Lol! Mine sits on a table. I try to hide them. The work you put into your village is amazing. It’s just wonderful.
Thanks so much Lillie! I had mine on a regular table when I first started and used the snow blanket to hide the cords. It worked out beautifully.
gorgeous xxx looks so realistic, so much character, and all those cords hidden.. oh my days, its stunning xx
Thank you so much Lorna! 😀
Wow! This is so beautiful, I can't imagine the amount of planning it takes to build something this awesome! You are amazing!!🎄
Thank you very much! You are right, there is a tremendous amount of planning involved for me to build a village this size but I do love it. It is so much fun for me. 😀
OMG, I am so thrilled seeing this that I might start break dancing any second. I LOVE everything you did here. The background with the twinkling lights are so cool. I love the multi-levels of your village. That adds so much depth it isn't even funny. I really appreciate how you taught us to hide the street light wires, as well as the lights that go to the village houses/businesses. The colors you used with the picks are so cheery, festive, and beautiful. The people just make this village come to life. I can see a story here about this town. It's a festive, friendly, town with much Christmas spirit. That church you used as a backup is gorgeous. I guess you didn't find the cord to the main church you wanted to use huh? It's okay, because it still all worked out in the end. Lastly, you are a village decorating genius. Now, let me turn on the jukebox so I can try out my break dancing moves. I'll probably end up in traction at the hospital. I'm old ya know. haha.
You always give me a good laugh! 😂🤣😂. Thank you very much and you are so very welcome! No, I still haven’t found the cord to my church but I still have a lot of building to do so maybe it will show up. You see exactly what I want my village to be. Good eye!
Its soo very beautiful I'm in the UK, and will be doing a little village , but I love watching yours so amazing love your tips
Thanks so much! 😃
This is so well done I can’t wait to start doing my set up. This was my motivation for today. Year 2 here we come
Thank you so much! 😄
one of my dreams🤩 but now I can't afford it, but soon i will be able to do this😍 My Lord will provide💪🙏
I pray you will have the village of your dreams someday soon. 😁
You are an amazing village creator! This is beautiful and you make it look so easy. I wish I had half your talent!
Thanks so much Barbara, that is so sweet of you to say. I think we all are talented, some of us just have more practice. 😉
Your vision is awesome. Great tips and tricks ,just beautiful! Can’t wait for the next one.
Thanks so much Mia! 😀
So beautiful 😍, love all the detail.
Hello Julie,
Thank you very much! 😀
Thank you so much for posting this. I have learned several new techniques I’m going to implement. I especially love using the small parts of your picks and making the tunnels for my wires (that blew my mind). I’m looking forward to your other videos!
Aw, thanks so much Amy! I’m so glad my videos have helped you. Take care.
So pretty. Love the details.
Thanks so much Donna! 😃
Beautifully laid out Miriam. It looks so professionally done. I am very impressed with your crafty ways🎅
Thank you so much! 😀
You have done a marvelous job on this village. Beautiful and magical
Thank you so much!
Stunning! Thanks for the ideas. ❤🐨
You are very welcome!
Just gorgeous. I think varied and plentiful foliage is an absolute must. It just brings a village to life. Oh and go Irish!! I laughed when I saw your shirt - I’m about half an hour north of SB and we’re an ND family 😉
Thanks so much! My hubby graduated from Notre dame and most of his family still live in South bend. Go Irish!
Love love your work as always
Thank you very much!
Omg Miriam, this is AMAZING!!! It looks like a real life village! I love how you’re so meticulous in hiding all the cords!!!!! Love it love it love it!!! Well done!!! You have so much talent, and thanks for sharing it with all of us!!! God bless you, and stay safe!!! 💕👍🏻👏🏻🎅🏻🤶🏻
Thank you so very much Maria! 😀. I’m so glad you all are finding my set up useful. Thanks for all you compliments! 😀
I love your village! Definitely some place I would love to live...
Aw, thanks. What a lovely compliment! 😀
Ingenious!!!
Thanks!
WOW - you sure have inspired me - I currently have a LEFTON COLONIAL VILLAGE which I have started and have so many pieces, however, after seeing your village and all the action "people" that go with the houses and stores - I absolutely love it - I'm sure its all Lemax - so now I am inspired to do my foam platforms for my village....who knows maybe I will start a Lemax set !!!! Beautifully done, your voice is so soothing and relaxing to listen to....thank you so much - its all the information I was looking for - my street lamps, cords and platforms.....thank you thank you thank you.
Hello Nancy, thank you so very much, I really appreciate it. Yes, most of my village is Lemax but I do have a few Dept 56, O’Well, and Walmart pieces in this village.
I am so glad to hear that you gained a few new tricks watching my video. 😃
Your talent and Exquisite attention to detail just blows my mind. I have followed since last Christmas village set up and I am constantly in awe. If it was me with everything you have and all the hours you put into this... I would probably have to leave mine up all year...lol. Bless you Miriam.
Thank you so much Debbi! I have debated leaving it up but then I always need my front room during the year for different parties. 🤣😃
You are extremely talented, your town is Amazing. Thank you for all the tips!
Thank you so much!
This is amazing Miriam - I cant wait to get started now
Thanks so much! 😀
Thumbs up as always . Both churches are show stoppers⭐️
Thanks so much Roland! 😃. You are right, both churches are gorgeous but the other one has twinkling lights and a twirling tree. But I am thankful I have a beautiful backup to use.
Hello Miriam I hv no words to say for your villages decor I was speechless when I discovered you .while I was looking for ideas in UA-cam how to decorate a village I found you has teacher girl you are very good 👍.
Thank you so much Marie, I really appreciate that! 😀
Enjoyed the video so much . Very relaxing , felt like I was there visiting the villages myself .. lol
Music was great ! Great job ! Thank you thank you
Aw, thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it all. 😃
Beyond cool!
Thank you very much!
I like your vision and execution!
Thanks so much!
You did a phenomenal job, it's perfect 👌 😍 hubby and I absolutely love your village ❤
Thank you so much Grace!😃
I just could not stop smiling while watching your tour 😍 And thanks so much for explaining the technical stuff. I have two left hands as we say here... but am determined to get a serious build done. That is why I am starting in August. Watching youtube videos and setting up a dining room table designated for this purpose 😅 Today I asked lorry drivers who were delivering a fridge here in the neighborhood if they had some left over styrofoam and they were happy to give me a huge bag of left over packaging material. Nice way to save €€ because that is not cheap here... Next I will have to get a tool to burn through the material.
And of course; binge watch your videos. 🙏✨🙋♀️
Aw, thanks so much! It is smart to get an early start because building a village does take time. I hope you will share your masterpiece once you have it all together.
Awesome video! Stunning details!
Thanks so much!
So pretty, a little dream world
Thank you so much! 😃
Love the cord hiding. Finally just started my mountain. I'm so far behind eek! My mom is flying in tomorrow for a week and I told her she would be helping me plaster 😀
Thanks Monica! 😂🤣😂 That is hilarious. It will make great memories. My mother and I have worked several projects together and have had a blast.
Wow it looks amazing. The use of the different trees and picks is so inspiring. Great job. 🎄🎄🎄
Thanks so much! 😀
@@MiriamsManner have you gone by the Dollar Tree? They have a lot of new trees for this season. They have them in different heights and color.
No word is just beautiful. Very good job
Thank you Gloria!
Amazing! Thank you so much Miriam for all you do. So inspiring! Whatever camera you are using, is great. Most youtube videos don't capture so much detail. My dining room is a mess as I build my village. I laughed when I saw your scissors, covered in plastor just like mine. I hope I can send some pictures when I'm finished..
Thank you so much!! I just use my iPhone but I do have a light that I try to focus on each area so it sharpens my image.
My village is in my dining room as well and it is a total mess. 😂🤣😂. I’m so glad you recognize the plaster covered scissors, that is awesome! Only a true crafter would know what that is! 😀. I would LOVE to see your final project. You can email me pics at miriamsmanner@gmail.com
Priceless.
Thank you!
Hello from New Zealand I can’t wait to start my village I’m a beginner villager you have given so many helpful tips. Thank you 😊
Hello Marie,
Thanks so much! I’m so glad to help. I hope you have so much fun with your first village.

Girl! This is stunning! I have always wanted to do this, but just don't have the room. I have 22 houses and right now they are all elevated...china cabinet and so forth. Thinking of buying the ladder type of displays, that way I can really see them. Again, I really enjoyed seeing this...thanks pretty lady.
Hello Cindy, thank you so very much! I really appreciate your feedback. 😁

You are amazing ,you gave me lots of ideas thanks for sharing
Thank you Carmen! So glad to help. 😁
👌

Hi Miriam,
Another great video. Your village is really coming along. I'm a bit jealous as I seem to be floundering, and making little to no progress on mine. *sigh* A few ideas did pop into my squirrel brain while I was cutting grass today. I'm also currently working on my next art project. Interestingly enough, it was while cutting the grass that I got the revelation that part of what I was making for my art project could also be used in my village. Now that's a 2-for1 deal I can get behind.
When I saw your video notication on my sidebar on UA-cam yesterday, I texted Mom that a new one had appeared and to wait so we could watch it together. While we were watching, I smiled and even laughed a bit because you were having a few issues. The cord to your church was missing. You made a hole in the styrofoam that had to be remade. You even cut the cobblestone paper a bit too short. I looked at Mom and said, "Miriam is just like us! She makes mistakes too!" Hahahaha! You know I'm saying all of this with love in my heart. You always seem so on point and put together. It was a bit reassuring to see that you have some of the same issues that the rest of us do. Hope you find your missing cord.
Can't wait for the next video. This village is really starting to take off. As always wishing all the best to you and yours.
😂🤣😂. I run into issues too while building. I have to be creative or think outside the box to solve some of my issues. Don’t stress, we all go through it, we just have to be every bit inventive to fix our roadblocks. 😃
Ooh, a current project that you could double in your village sounds amazing. What is it going to be? Or do you want it to be a surprise?
Yes, the village is finally coming along. Now that the front is done, I am so excited to get started on the rest. My projects for next week are going to be great!!
Wow your village is amazing. Only just found your channel. I'm from England and only just decided to start a village this year, so trying to get inspiration. Yours are just stunning, have subscribed and will be watching lots more xx
Hello and welcome Karen! I’m so glad you have joined our villaging family. Thank you so much for your lovely words. By the way, I do a Christmas village live stream once a month. I haven’t done one for November yet and I hope you can join us. 😀
Wow! So amazing and BEAUTIFUL! You are so creative someone needs to hire you to do a window display in New York or Chicago!
Thank you so much Maria! I have never actually been to New York but a neighbor of mine says that to me all the time. 😂🤣. Thank you so very much!
❤❤❤love the churches and hope you can find the adapter .Thank you for great video ✌
Thank you so much, me too! 😀
Beautiful
Thanks so much! 😀
Excellent job
Thanks Janet!
😊🥰😍🤩💖 gorgeous
Thank you Maria! 😀
Amazing ❤️
Thanks.
Wonderful tutorial today, very helpful with tips and techniques. Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new from the Gorgeous Queen of Christmas Villages. Looking forward to see what you do with back panel of 4x8'...I know the zoo is involved? Front platform looks amazing!
Thank you so very much! I till have 4 more phases of this village to build. It is taking me a lot longer than anticipated. My children just went back to school today so maybe I can get a little more done this coming week.
Beautiful🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💐🧿
Thank you Monika!
SEI BRAVISSIMA!!!!!!!!!
ThNk you!
@@MiriamsManner E BELLISSIMA
Love it! Thank you for the ideas 💞💞💞
Thank you and you are welcome! 😀
thank you for your video
You are welcome
Wow! That’s all I can say.
Thanks Nancy! 😀
Very beautifully done except I can't figure out if this is a winter village or a spring or summer village. There's snow with pretty green grass and spring looking flowers. Aside from that its very nice. Love the cobble streets.
It’s an Arizona village. In our state, you can have green grass and snow at the same time because in most places that snow here, the snow never sticks. Just a beautiful dusting.
Your trees with the white base if you glue a magnet on the bottom and under where you want to place them they will stay in place and not fall over. Your villages are absolutely beautiful.
Thanks so much Michelle. I ended up hot glueing them down because I was sick of them toppling over ever time I bumped them. 😂🤣
I love the magnet idea though, I never would have thought of that.
❤❤❤

I really enjoy your video’s. Are all your villages made up of groupings that are. Blended together. I keep my village up all year round above my kitchen cabinets. I have been trying to figure out a way to make them pop more. Making huge mountains intimidates me. You make it look so easy. Thank you for making these videos.
Hello LJ, thank you so much! I do use a variety of different brands and mix and match them together. I also have distinct areas laid out in my village to mirror an actual town. So I will have a town square, business district, neighborhood, etc. all of these things together make up the town. I hope that answers your question.
Regarding making a platform or mountain, maybe start small and get your feet wet. I have a video on how to make a small platform, only using styrofoam, hot wire, and paint. I will send you the video link to that one. Once you get the hang of it, you can expand to harder projects.

I just was wondering how you put all your trees and cord tunnels without being afraid of damaging your bases so they can be reused in other setting. May be in the end of the season you can make a quick tutorial on how to repair surface of bases? It would be great!
Hello Anna,
That is a great question. The larger trees leave minor holes in the styrofoam and the evergreen trees leave such a tiny holes, it is not even visible. The cord tunnel will require a small repair but it is an easy fix. I can definitely do a video showing how to repair that once I take my village down next year. You might need to remind me when the time comes. 😂
I love your villages! And that Christmas tree!! Oh my goodness! I love that tree! Your villages are so realistic that I expect to hear and see the people moving around and talking!! I wish I had a place for a big village. I add to my village pieces every year, but mine still wouldn't look like yours! Are you through building this year's village, or is there more to come?
Thanks so much Janita! 😀. I am nowhere near done, I am just getting started. 😂🤣😂. I have about 5 more sections to do for this village. It will be several weeks before I finish.
@@MiriamsManner Oh cool! Can't wait to see each section and the whole, finished village!
Hello Miriam! Your work is absolutely beautiful I wish I had your talent. Can you please let us know were you bought the houses?
Thank you so much. The houses are Dept 56 and O’Wells brand. I bought them used. Most all of the other buildings are Lemax and I buy those at www.ehobbytools.com.
It's all in the details
Yes!!!
First, I would like to say how inspiring you have been. I am stepping up my village game this year, thanks to you. I always set my village up on top of my kitchen cabinets so it is only seen from below. I'm in the process of making bases for the buildings. I have purchased some new fences. I see that you glue your fences and street lights down. Do you use hot glue or low melt glue? And does the glue come off the fence and the base when it is time to put the village away? I want to reuse the bases every year so I don't want the fences and street lights permanently attached. Or do you only attach them to the street paper? Thanks again for all the inspiration!
Hello Cindy, I’m so glad to hear my videos have offered you inspiration.
Yes, I do glue down my fence and street lamps but only on my plain styrofoam and the paper. I rarely glue down anything on the mountains and bases I make. If you plaster it, the hot glue can be easily removed without damage. If it’s just styrofoam, when you remove your piece, it will take a piece of the styrofoam with it.
Another option you can use without damaging the styrofoam is a product called zots. You can buy these at Walmart, Amazon, Michaels, and other craft stores. I have attached a link below for you.

I love the plants! How did you make those?
I have a mixture of plants I made and purchased. Can you tell me which ones to better help you? Thanks
Hi Miriam,
Loved your videos on how you put your village together. It took us a little over a month to put up 54 square feet of village.
I was wondering about the hot glue on the lights, roads, fence in your Christmas Village 2021. Does the hot glue cause an issue with the lights (shorting them out) and how do you remove the items when you take them down. Does that cause an issue with the foam or the item? I live out of the country and have to order almost everything for my village which takes time to get everything. I use floral pins to hold the items in place but it is not ideal.
Thanks
Hello Kevin, thanks so much.
The hot glue has never damaged any of my pieces. I have had the same lights and roads for at least 3 years and some for 5 and they are still working great.
To remove the glue from the bottom of the piece, I just take a razor blade or my finger nail and scrape off the bead of hot glue. A little bit of the styrofoam might come off when you remove the item but it hasn’t impacted me using the same styrofoam boards. I have actually used the same boards now for 4 years.
Absolutely lovely!! I'm from Canada, so I am wondering where you get all the Lemax people? We are somewhat limited here with only a few stores carrying that brand and with limited merchandise. You keep mentioning, something with the word Hobby in it. Can you tell me where you get your items from? Thanks, so inspiring!
Hello Jasmine. I order them online at www.ehobbytools.com. They do ship to Canada.
Thank you so much for posting. I have learned several new techniques I’m going to implement this year. Where did you get the flat styrofoam?
They are insulation foam boards from Lowe’s or Home Depot. I get the ones that are 1 1/2” thick.
This is so amazing. You are very talent and creative. Can you let me know where I can purchase that water fountain? I'm beginner Christmas village hobby.
Thank you so much, that is very kind of you. I purchased that fountain from Ehobbytools.com.
Hi Miriam
This looks great. I was wondering what are the pins you use called to push down the cords?
Thanks
Hello Kelly,
Thank you very much. They are called floral pins. I have attached a link below.

Your village looks beautiful! I just started collecting about 4 yrs ago, so it''s no where near what you have here. Can I ask, where do you purchase your buildings and people? I had mine set up, took it apart to put the train around it, Had to go get another surge plug, put it back together again, didn't like the way it looked, so I took it all apart and put it up. Maybe next year will be better.
Hello Laurie, I purchase the majority of my buildings from www.ehobbytools.com. My figurines are from the same place too.
Looks great! I like the use of Styrofoam for hiding cords and easy planting of trees. I assume your Styrofoam is not adhered to the plywood?
Thank you. No, it is not attached to the styrofoam. 😀
You did such an amazing job...How many hours does it take to put this village togeather ? Thank you so much for sharing..🎄💜
Hey Deborah,
Thanks so much. So far I probably have spent about 20 hours building bases and putting this together. I’m not even halfway done though. This village will take a lot of time.
@@MiriamsManner well keep up the work.I enjoy it so much..can . A magic wandering around through your village. LOL if only we could shrink ourselves up into it when we want to get away from The Real World. LOL thank you again for sharing.🎄🏡🎄
Hey Miriam,
Would you please tell me where you get the ethnic figurines? I am having the darnest time locating them in stores. Love your work.
Hello kaylee,
I buy almost all my figurines from www.Ehobbytools.com. If you type “ethnic” in the search menu on their website, all of the ethnic figurines will pop up. Also, I do paint a lot of my figurines.
Hi Miriam, I love your work! Can you tell me where you purchased the fountain, the backdrop and the walkway. Thanks!
Hello Joe, thanks so much! The fountain is from Lemax and you can purchase it from ehobbytools.com. The backdrop I ordered from Amazon.
I attached the link below for the fountain. And I also attached the video below for the backdrop. I have the link for that in the description box.
Which walkways are you referring to?

@@MiriamsManner thanks Miriam for the quick response. I was referring to the Cobblestone one in front of the houses
Hi there sorry for all the questions I’m binge watching lol I’m sure you answered somewhere but where do you get the Christmas trees. Do you strictly use the le max ones ? I see someon Amazon but sizing is my question too since I’ve never done a village ? I know it’s probably personal preference …
Hello Cari, your questions are great. That's what we are all here for, we all give lots of good feedback to each other. I buy a variety of different trees. It's good to have lots of styles and heights of trees.
I have bought the evergreens they sell at Walmart in all of the sizes. I also have a ton of the Lemax evergreens in all sizes. I also make a lot of my own trees. If you keep binge watching 😂, I'm sure you will come across my Christmas Village Tree videos.
@@MiriamsManner Thank you so much found your tree video this afternoon lol 😂 just picking up some plaster of Paris now at muchaels ! Also just watched your small mountain tutorial
Thank you so so much !
I just love your work ♥️ what the name of the store for the street lights?
Thank you so much! I buy online at www.ehobbytools.com
Wow!!! Amazing!!!!!!! Hi Miriam, I’m brand new here, just subscribed! I’m a newbie and would love to know where to start! I really want to create Christmas villages! Where can I find affordable newbie supplies??
Hello Lara,
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you subscribing. I would start at your local Goodwill, Facebook marketplace, and offer up for gently used items. There usually are good deals in those places. Walmart has great prices on their village stuff but you have to get it as soon as they put it out, it goes fast. If you have room in your budget, look up ehobbytools.com. They have the best prices for Lemax village products.
@@MiriamsManner thanks so much!!! I can’t wait to get started, this is so fun!
It is, and it’s very addicting. 😂🤣
