Double Christmas Igloo Specail Part 1!:

Christmas Nativity Scene/Play

My first igloo for today is kind of religious--- it's a play about the first Christmas. There's a sweet manger scene with a treasure chest of gold, a crib with a halo and a spotlight from the tree. There's even the north star right over the manger. I set up three stages around the play with instruments for live music. To separate the play from the audience, I placed a white fence around it. In the house there are Christmas trees for decoration, giant speakers to hear the play, a red carpet leading up to the manger and many benches for the audience to sit and enjoy the entertainment!  
 
Igloo trix you can use for other igloos too!: 
  • I used the crystal ball from the Halloween catalogue as a halo for the baby.
  • The light shining through the right tall tree serves as a spotlight onto the crib.
  • Covered the mountains with clouds.
  • Used the graveyard dirt from the Halloween catalogue as a floor for the manger but hid the gravestones behind the walls.  
  • How to make the crib:  
* You will need:                               
2 rare benches                                 
8 wooden crates                                                                       
2 hay bales (the shorter kind)                      
1 Crystal ball                                   
                                                         
step 1: spin two rare benches backwards, one behind the other.
step 2: place two wooden crates between each side of the benches.
step 3: place four wooden crates along the bottom of the bottom bench.
step 4: place two hay bales inside the crib, each angled outwards.
step 5: put the crystal ball in between the two hay bales, covering the base.

Winter Cathedral

This is my first ever winter themed igloo for my blog! Yes, I know it's not technically a "cathedral" and more like a castle but the name just sounds cool XD. There's a dining hall with a harp on a icy stage for entertainment, an icicle throne room, random frozen ponds with penguin ice sculptures, flowers and fountains on top to add a little color and two tower rooms: one with a mini library and the other has a couple horse sculptures. I used lots of chandeliers and icicles to add an interesting effect to the walls and if you look closely you can see that I hid purple and blue paper lanterns behind some of the furniture. I also covered the windows that go with the igloo in the towers with the Halloween purple spider windows. Feel free to use any of my ideas displayed in this igloo, tell me what you think in the comments and click for a larger view!
 
I'll have to find  a new way to make videos over Christmas break since Google plus changed everything :/. Hope ya'll have an epic day and stay warm this winter!
