YAMF Holiday Handmade is sponsored by Kollabora, the community for makers.

I think a few of these cut-out villages would be perfect lined up along a mantle. Maybe in all white? Or with color with some added snow and mini figurines.

To make your own you’ll need:
- thin sheet of wood (like balsa)
- razor blade
- acrylic paint
- double sided tape
- light strip (this one’s from IKEA)

Step One: Create a village pattern out of paper and trace it onto your sheet of wood.
Step Two: Carefully cut it out with razor blade.

Step Three: Paint in colors of your choosing.
Step Four: Adhere to light strip with double sided tape.
Step Five: Plug in for a little festive glow.
