Etsy - BelgianPaperworks Handmade Christmas Village - Heirloom Holiday Decor Handcrafted From Layered Artisan Papers
Description
Seen in Better Homes & Gardens magazine, Christmas 2024, Create Holiday Magic, a white-on-white version of my Etsy Design Awards finalist village! Christmas decorations don't have to be bulky. This eye-catching & easy-to-store paper Christmas village folds perfectly flat, so you can tuck it away in seconds & your post-holiday cleanup is done. So simple! Gather the three houses together into a winter wonderland, or sprinkle them throughout your home to be discovered one by one. Lit by gently flickering LED candles (included with US purchases), it's the perfect way to bring warmth & joy to your holiday season. Look closely: paper timbers crisscross the facades, the cottage has a stone-textured chimney, & even the shutter is 3D. The Nordic church or the half-timbered church may be added separately for a classic village feel. DESIGN I use creamy, cold-pressed watercolor paper (acid-free & very strong) as the foundation for each piece. I assemble them by hand, adding layers of meticulously cut paper until each luminary is literally ready to shine. These layers not only create depth but also add strength & durability. & I always cut with a blade, never a laser, so no matter how closely you look, you will never find a toasted edge in my work. Zoom right in to see every crisp detail. SET UP & STORAGE Your pieces will arrive fully assembled. All you need to do is pop them up & put the tabs through the slots - no glue or tape is required. Tuck in the LED tea lights included with US shipments, & sit back to enjoy the glow. At the end of the season, simply fold your luminaries back into their small shipping box & slip them into a drawer. They hardly need any storage space, because no one needs more bulky stuff. The houses in this collection range from 3.75 to 5.75 inches tall. SUSTAINABILITY Here in Northern California, sustainability is a way of life, & my luminaries are made with eco-friendly, acid free, archival papers. Please see my FAQs or About section for information on my sustainability practices. Thank you. I would love to answer your questions, so please do not hesitate to ask. ~Use flameless LED lights only. Not for use with a traditional candle. -Listing is for three village houses. Church available separately. 2020 Anne Louvau, all rights reserved.
