Dept 56 Christmas Lane Display Part 5

This tutorial wraps this one all up and puts a bow on it! Loved the way this one turned out!!

[@laurapayeur9751]

Like the backdrop. I plan to make a street on a shelf and you have given me good ideas

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Very nicely done, the look is absolutely Beautiful..i love the brick walls and that news paper stand. The snow looks great. Given me ideas on how to do mine this year.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you so much!

[@cadillacescalade5428]

@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl Your Welcome I always love seeing video's like yours.

[@maureencrawford2275]

Lovely! The little pathways going up to front doors are terrific!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you!!!

[@kristophergoad2135]

I know I'm late, but this is fantastic. Also thank you, this is the only thing I can find that actually shows use of the Fresh Fallen Snow.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you! Yeah, I think the fresh fallen snow is the most realistic I’ve seen.

[@kristophergoad2135]

@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl I haven't yet used it. Had some Buffalo snowflakes but they were terrible. Gonna try the Dept 56 this year. Your video was a huge help again thanks.

[@alicewilson1495]

Looks great! You did a fantastic job.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you!

[@BetseyDenis]

Wow, I watched all 5 parts and now I'm so excited to build my village again. Your tutorials are exactly what I've been looking for to add details to my village. Thanks so much!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Awesome-glad you’re enjoying the channel!!

[@johnnyp435]

Amazing work as usual, my favorite portion is the tree farm section. When you said "Alexa turn the hutch lights blue" My Amazon Echo responded over here! Have a great holiday and look forward to riding along for the Halloween vignettes in 2022.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Haha…glad you’re enjoying the channel!

[@susancoursey-bf3eh]

I am just beginning my first attempt at villaging. Thank you for this! It helps me with my Christmas Lane items.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Glad I could help!

[@mimlife]

Really, really good. The blue light took it up a notch. I finished mine as well. An entire room with many thanks to you for being such an inspiration. I made a few trees. They came out so beautifully. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you so much…happy holidays to you all as well!!

Great storage Carl I have a studio room for creating but no storage and all my dept 56 are in containers in another room but to have cabinets would be great. Love the houses you picked and fabric. Happy Holidays to you and family. Thanks you for you video..

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you and you’re welcome!

[@fbmroberts]

Looks wonderful, Carl. Like the fabric panel. Happy Thanksgiving. I have USW union negotiators starting soon and I need to get busy.

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

[@hilarymac3706]

Looks fantastic - thanks for sharing

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

You’re welcome!

[@chantelbiehl33]

Did you drill any holes in the foam to hide the cords going to the houses, I don't see the holes but maybe I missed something? Did you make a tutorial of how you made the sidewalk and road look like they have ice on them? I just love your step by step instructions. Truly AMAZING

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Most of the cords in this piece simply fall off the back. There is a tutorial on icy roads-same concept for sidewalks!

[@beauhunnk]

Stunning…!

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thanks!!

[@cynthiathomas6610]

Good job looks realistic

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you!!

[@danbills7073]

I love all your videos Carl. I have learned so much. Thank you! Of the three types of snow you bought, which do you like best? Which is the most white?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you Dan!! I’m pretty sold on the Dept 56 Fresh Fallen Snow brand-to me it looks the most realistic of all the products I’ve tried. Should be able to find it on Amazon as well.

[@Tom-hs4rf]

Nice work Carl. Did the glue/water mix have any negative visual effects on the roadway or sidewalk?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

No…dried clear!

[@vp4728]

Carl you do great set-ups, thanks for sharing. Where did you get the 'Fresh Cut Christmas Trees', what brand?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Thank you! The Fresh Cut Tree’s piece you’re talking about is from Dept 56!

[@vp4728]

@@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl thank you for your response. Oh Carl are we going to have to wait now until next Halloween before we see another of your projects? Or will you be doing Easter & other holidays?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

@@vp4728 Nope…not going to have to wait. I plan on doing one more Christmas Vignette and then I have a bunch of stuff planned to get ready for Halloween!!!

[@bridgetteshort2197]

How did you do the road...looks great...would like to see you do tutorial on how you did it...

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Yeah…I’ll likely do one. It was an after thought honestly, but I like how it turned out!

[@susancoursey-bf3eh]

Question…I put the skid tape down for my road but I really like the way your mod podge looks on your road like ice. Do you think I can put the mod podge down like you did and look like yours? Do I put fine snow flakes after putting in on and then dry?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Yes to both questions!

[@susancoursey-bf3eh]

Thanks. I’ll give it a try.

[@travisrhoton7013]

Great scene. Will you be doing any more scenes?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

One more Christmas vignette for this Christmas season!!

[@Gubstreet]

Hey carl will you be doing more villages for Xmas or will this be the only one?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

One more vignette for Christmas and that’ll likely do it!

[@TinaWalker-hy6ft]

what alexa plugs and lights did you use to change it to blue. i had an echo to control them, but it quit working

Are the hedge rows made from brushes laid on side?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

They are Dept 56 hedges, but you may be on to something!!!

[@lisaat2251]

happy thanksgiving great job just one question did you use water down glue on the road for the ice look

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

I used Mod Podge in two distinct lines and then sprinkled a little snow on it. Once it sat for about 2-mins or so, I used a paint bush to swipe most of the snow off. I then used the glue/water spray on it and sprinkled a few more flurries all over the road.

[@lisaat2251]

@@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl thank u

[@heidim6468]

Carl can I ask you why you don’t use the accessory lighting system by dept 56. I want to get it but have heard lights are dimmer do you know anything about it?

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Hmmm…don’t really need it. All the houses on the left are all LED and work off their own adapters. The houses on the right work off of traditional C7 light cords. Not really sure what I’d do with the lighting system for my setup.

[@steveptasznik6147]

I would suggest adding people. It looks like a ghost town. 👻

[@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl]

Agree-more will be added this season!

[@steveptasznik6147]

@@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl I went through the same process. Populating the town is the last thing to finish. Do I want this cool building or some people? I'll take the building.
