Four easy steps to creating a mantle or tabletop display using North Pole Villages:
1. Start with a single village building, or a set of two or three which go together. Arranging the buildings on different levels creates an interesting look. You can use a Department 56 “Snowy Platform” accessory, or just a simple piece of styrofoam to elevate the North Pole Village buildings.
2. Create happy holiday scenes using Dept 56 figurines. There’s a wide range to choose from, depicting people caroling, skating, skiing, delivering gifts, or just playing in the snow.
3. Add trees, acrylic ice and snow for a wintry North Pole look.
4. Enhance your North Pole Village display using tree trimmings, Christmas decorations and festive strings of lights.
