Product Description |
| This unique DVD walks the user step-by-step through building a temporary display out of styrofoam with raised ledges in the back as well as a more permanent multi-level display with a hollow base. Join Bryon Shroats, a professional designer from Chicago, Illinois, as he demonstrates how to cut, build, carve, seal, and decorate both of these displays. Bryon will share with you how he lights an entire village (up to 100 houses/accessories) using just one electrical cord and how he hides all of his electrical cords below the display using his hollow base. |

 Just what I needed! |

| Reviewer: N. Bohnet, |
| I've struggled to make my display look unique and have more "life". I have a relatively small space to display and have ended up placing my houses more or less in a row hiding the wires as best I could. This DVD showed how to vary the height of my houses by using styrofoam ledges, which can be done in a small space. I was also pleased to find that using the tools to carve the styrofoam was really as easy as demonstrated. There are advertisements about the Place & Plug system, which can be skipped over if you're not interested. I like the idea of using the cord and the plugs but will probably use my own light cords. With this display all the wires are hidden so it really doesn't matter how many wires there are. |
Awesome DVD

| This DVD is great for showing you how to build the bases of your village but does NOT give or show great detail on the assembling of your village. The Village Vignettes DVD is a much more detailed DVD!!! |
Misleading and disappointing

This is basically a 30 minute commerical for the Place and Plug strips. It shows how to create one temporary and one permanent base out of styrofoam... and that is it. There are no techniques or display suggestions given at all. The focus of the video is about "how great the Place and Plug strips are to use," and "how the cords are more easily hidden when you use the Place and Plug strips."
I guess I just paid a lot of money to watch a commercial. |
