Santa's Workshop and North Pole decorations

Thought I'd share some of my xmas front garden upcycling - though with the neighbours breaking out the light shows I think we need to up our game for next year!

 

Build no. 1: North Pole

I painted up some drainpipe from one of my neighbour's pool business spares as the North Pole. Completed with 3D printed lettering (the kids had fun rearranging...) and solar lights:

Build no. 2: Santa's Workshop

I spotted a neighbour chucking out an old chicken coop. A bit of cut and shut combined with some foam from another neighbour and we've got a home for the elves - solar lighting to trim the signs and roof again :smile:

Now just need the temperature to drop about 35 degrees and we might have a proper christmassy scene!
