Christmas Village Design Ideas

Thought I'd share a photo of a prop I made for a village several years ago.  A trash can.  Very simply made from a tiny 35mm film canister. The size was perfect, and just had to paint it to get rid of the shiny plastic appearance. The latest early 19th Century New England Coastal Villagescape doesn't need that. I don't believe they used public trash bins back in those days.

Here is one of our handmade stairways just below.
