Christmas crafts | DIY village | Dollar Tree goods xmas upgrade | miniature diorama from scratch

I wanted to start building my own Christmas village for a few years. This autumn, I came across a really cute Dollar tree dollhouses transformation on the channel called 'Irene - My DIY life diaries' and considered it a sign to finally make this little dream of mine come true. What started as an upgrade of 6 dollhouses turned out to be quite a sizeable DIY project. In the end, I built a miniature diorama from scratch upcycling dollar tree toys and decorations. Thus, this Christmas village remained budget-friendly which is always a plus. When I finished, I was very tired but happy. Naturally, the whole process is documented in this video. Hopefully, you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoy my Christmas crafts this holiday season. 0:00 Intro 0:25 Cheap plastic houses upgrade 7:11 Christmas transformation of 3-d puzzles 10:10 Xmas decor of houses 13:51 Lights installation 14:33 Cheap toy cars makeover 16:53 Lamp posts decoration 18:14 Recreating Lemax’s metal kio
