May I suggest finding a used small fish tank from a garage sale or second hand store and doing this inside of a fish tank. You could change the interior with every season or holiday.
Hi! Loved your project. We made five of these for family and friends. We used plexiglass that we had cut to fit top. But a frugal friend suggested we could have taken a frame apart and cut the wood/plastic frame to size and the used clear plastic that some consumer products comes packaged in,( like cosmetic gift sets ). I have now made a note to save some of that plastic for next year's projects! Lol!! The only other aspect we did was to leave the people unglued when giving to a family with children or a person who loves to do crafts or Xmas projects. Plus the snow. We put in cotton from cotton
Sorry...hit button ! Cotton from pillow filling or cotton balls ( pulled apart), if young children in house: for safety reasons. Thank-you for giving such clear and detailed directions! Merry Christmas!!
this is such a fantastic idea Tricia, especially for those of us who don't have a a lot of space for a bigger village. I love all your creations. keep them coming. I am so addicted to watching your videos. Thanx.
I keep thinking aquarium--with all the little villagers swimming around in their winter wonderland! I like you and your videos. Your ideas are very creative. Thanks for sharing.
Tricia, I Love this Christmas Box..Yours turned out beautiful..I will be doing one soon and i'll post pics of it. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful piece and thanks for showing and teaching others how to do things...And if someone doesnt like your works of art they dont have to watch it...We wont miss any negative posts from anyone....Thanks again for your time and talent and creativity....Always watching...Karen
Wow, your work is very impressive!! It would take me much longer to make something like yours but this is surely an inspiration. Thank you also for reminding commenters to be kind; so important to support one another. Bless you and your family, Happy Holidays! 🎄👼
I LOVE your Shadow Box, and the way you made it. There are lots of videos on UA-cam about how to make Shadow Boxes, but most of them involve using one of those expensive Sissix or Cricut machines that cost about $450! I can't afford that and the way you made your Shadow Box shows that you don't need expensive machines to make a beautiful box like yours. Thank you so much for sharing this great video tutorial. Love from Amanda Jones in Australia ❤❤❤
Tricia! That is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL and is glam farmhouse project# Actually you are a "glam farmhouse" decorater because all your projects are high-end, glamorous which speaks to glam decor as well. I'm making each a Christmas box for my 16-year old Twin granddaughters. They will love it. You are a spectacular designer!
A beautiful display box. Super awesome. I'm making some for my pastor and a few friends from church. I'll be using little church buildings. Thanks so much for sharing. The Lord bless you tremendously!
Oh I truly loved this, your instructions and showing every step is AWESOME I just love how you take the time to make it so very clear and easy for us beginners you are truly a AMZING Woman and Crafter, thank you and Merry Christmas
that is so cute ,,,, i love it ,,, i think i just found a cute gift for a family member that loves Christmas... thank you for sharing this craft that you made ,,
You did an outstanding job on your beautiful creation. Brand new to your channel & i look forward to seeing everything that you do. Im just completely blown away by your amazing talent. God Bless you my new friend.🎄🎀🎁
I think your lil lighted village turned out gorgeous tricia !!! as always you make such beautiful pieces , I'm sorry some ppl don't leave such nice comments, your pieces are not meant to duplicate , only to offer ideas and inspiration , and I have done that with so many of your works of art !!! you truly are one gifted lady and I cant thank you enough for all you do and share !!! thanks again !!!
Excellent idea love this beautiful and cozy! Thank you I had to race through because of my eyes but I will watch it again slower.. Thank you again.. Happy Holidays..
I have to say that I wasn't sure I was going to like the finished project, but I'm glad I watched all the way through!! I LOVE it! I think the bling was throwing me off at first, but it's just the right amount of shimmer for the lights.
This is totally awesome.. I saw a display at my WalMart one year where they made a scene in an aquarium, but this is even better. Thank you...I have all the pieces from Dollar Tree and now I know how to display them. I was thinking of maybe adding a small round mirror as a pond and adding skaters.
Thanks so much for your videos. I'm planning on doing a bunch of your crafts for Christmas gifts this year. My adult kids &a grandkids are going to love these!
Hi Tricia, I luv little villages and have them out at Christmas time, and you can bet your bottom dollar one of the grandkids start playing with it . What a brill idea, guess what im gonna try to make. You got yourself a new subscriber . I luv it. Take care n stay safe. Luv from across the pond x
You are right...everyone should lift each other up, not down! Your lighted Christmas scene is absolutely gorgeous! I love it! Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful diy project! Stay safe, healthy and positive! God bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸😊🌲
Hi Tricia! I'm new to your channel and I want to say you did a beautiful piece! I've never been a crafty person but you made it look so easy that I'm going to attempt to make my own little Shadow Village. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creation!😍
Well, you got me up and out in the pouring rain trying to get to the dollar tree before they closed 😂 I found everything I needed except the trees, but I'll fabricate my own. Love love love love this tutorial! Your village is so, so pretty. Thank you for sharing and inspiring. Liked and subscribed 😁
So glad this was recommended, really enjoyed watching the video. Very Beautiful! I’m a new Subscriber to your UA-cam channel now bc of this video. Thanks for sharing, Loved it 😊
This is really lovely. You are so lucky to have a place like the dollar tree. We have nothing in comparison in New Zealand. Would certainly make this if we did. Thank you for your ideas and tutorials Tricia. God Bless.
Wow. Creativity is your gift! I have no idea yet what is in your channel but I’m subscribing as I’m positive it will be more amazing things! Can’t believe you made this with all dollar tree items!!!
I love it ~~~ You did a great job and inspired me to make one. I know this was posted 3 years ago, but I just came across it and so happy that I did. Thank you for sharing your beautiful project
I am new to your channel, but I wanted you to know that your shadow box is so beautiful and adorable.💞 What a great idea. I have to make one. Thanks for sharing 👍.
Tricia I love, love , love your shadowbox. I think I might make one for myself . You have some really nice ideas. Thank you for sharing . So until next time God Bless you .
Hi! I just watched your video and thought it was a great idea! I've always loved the little village pcs and wanted something to do with it. I've seen other projects that use only a piece or two, but not the whole set.. I thought the gift bag for the message in the back look very cute and well placed. I liked the bling mixed with the greenery, because you can have both. It breaks it breaks it up a bit and you can see through the top. The lights inside are cute, too. Mirror would look nice against the lights, I would probably use instead of the message. Great job!
Super adorable! I just subscribed after watching this one video. Not only was this project amazing, but the fact that you offered prayers to those who need them. We need more kind people in the world. Thank you! Bless you and your family.
What a great idea! I think I will use one of those basketball display box things from Hobby Lobby and use a coupon! You did an excellent job on showing us how to do this! Thank you for sharing! 🎁🎅🏻
Very creative Triccia. I will keep your family in my prayer. I got a new kitty. This is a great idea to keep him out of my village. Love your channel. Merry Christmas.
How beautiful , you have inspired me to have a go. As Christmas 2019 approaches I need to make my home festive and you have helped me with this by showing how to make this beautiful display case. Thank you so much and God bless. Maria from England x
This is just amazing amazing! I'm not crafty in the slightest and I'm going to try making this with my niece for my very first craft project ever..... Miss Tricia you have given me inspiration to try new things such as crafting so I thank you very much from the bottom of my heart I thank you!!!!💓😘💕 I can't wait to make this!!💕😋
That is cute! I might do more of a wood lid. But that is a really great idea! I might do something like this sometime for my nativity set! My grandmother made the plaster figurines and painted them. My, then, one year old kept playing with them and dropping them. Luckily nothing broke.
I love it its beautiful thx so much Tricia you are amazing I so look forward to your videos every week thx si much for sharing your talent with us sending you hugs from Canada 💖😘🤗🇨🇦
Two big thumbs up Tricia!! There isn't anything you've created that i haven't loved 💙 i cannot understand ugly comments or even the ones that are rude. They seem to be everywhere these days unfortunately. 😥I'm glad you address it in your videos. So glad to hear your brother is improving. GOD is good!!!
I'm going to do a display case to like this one, but I have a fireplace and 2 christmas trees I got from the Dollar Tree. I hope it comes out as nice as yours. Hopefully, I can find the right side frames for them. Thank you for the nice ideas.
I love this. So creative. Not sure what is still out there but if I don't get one made this year I will certainly hit the stores early next year. I will check tho. Thank you for sharing. Have a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving and Christmas.
May I suggest finding a used small fish tank from a garage sale or second hand store and doing this inside of a fish tank. You could change the interior with every season or holiday.
Love that, thank you!! ♥
