I purchased my Silhouette to design and make Ledge Village. From that beginning grew 3dcuts.com. I have designed many types of files since then but I keep circling back to buildings. Ledge Village was followed by Tea Light Village. Both have grown in both size and complexity over the years. My thinking is that they have become so extensive that the magnitude frightens away new users. I designed Tree Town as a smaller simplier village to encourage less experienced users to experiment with building 3d projects.

I also addressed a second challenge with the earlier towns and that was display. I designed the display system right into the Tree Town project. In fact that was the basis of this design. I started with the tree shelf unit and designed the village to fit in it.

The cutting file for the entire project is here.
The tutorial for assembly is here.

The finished projects is about 12.5” tall. The download includes the files in SVG, PDF, PNG, and DXF file formats. All pieces fit on 8.5 x 11” card stock. I used the Neenah card stock for the white and Recollections for all the colors.

I didn’t illuminate Tree Town like Tea Light Village because that added a level of complexity. Instead I designed it so that is self illuminates if you display it in front of a window. The sunshine makes the windows glow!Be sure to share your finished Tree Town in the Facebook group pages or by sending photos to me at marji@3dcuts.com. I will include unique and creative ideas in the tutorial.
