This was entered on Crafting - not Cooking. Sorry about that.

Above notice is because this post came up on Cooking too. Where are all the crafters?

For my village I just build it up with different size boxes; whatever I have on hand. Then I use polyester batting to round off. Then I cover it with the white "snow" sheets that they sell, followed by more batting for mounds of snow. Hope this helps.

Also search Pinterest for ideas.

gracie where do you find the polyester batting? When you say "round off" do you mean to actually round the corners of square boxes? Hate to be so duh but am trying to picture it. Is your area as large as mine? Tks for your help.

Picture a box with a sheet over it; the box outline will show through. I put the stuffing under the sheet to disguise the fact that there is a box underneath. Sorry, I don't have a picture. The batting I used comes in a bag in the sewing dept.

Maybe I should have said polyfill instead of batting; sorry.

Batting or Polyfill comes in 2 different bags, 1 is for stuffing homemade animals to make them firm, it's loose & you grab a hand full & plumb up whatever needs plumping up, other is for inside quilts, might need a bag of each, 1 for making boxes "round' other for laying over top for hills & such makes good snow. You just cut & shape it however you want it & just roll it up & put in bag for next year.

next time you buy an appliance, save the big chunks of styrofoam used for packing (or ask your friends). You can cut them to shape with a bread knife, and do any painting with acrylics (NOT spray paint!).
