Idea: Tin Foil Christmas village

Found this on one of the Russian crafting sites, and fell in love with this idea. Seems that all you pretty much need is some embossing soft metal/foil (I believe most well-stocked craft stores would have something like that).







The site does warn against using candles, even tea lights, near a Christmas tree. I would suggest actually going without fire, but instead invest in some fake tea-lights, which are basically small LED lights, shaped like tea lights, and even have that artificial candle-like flicker. They usually come with batteries as well!
