We recently put a fun Christmas craft bundle on our website which included a gingerbread house. This house can be used any way that you want and does not need to be a gingerbread house.
This house is very easy to assemble. I recommend placing the bottom and two sides together first.
Once you have two sides on you’ll then slide the other two sides on.
The two roof pieces will just pop on as well as the door. You’ll want to glue the window frames on as well as the architectural trim pieces. You can use Elmer’s glue or hot glue for this part.
I want this gingerbread house to be quick and easy so I decided to spray paint mine. I used a Warm Caramel colored spray paint.
This house came in a box which included a piece of lace ribbon. I decided to use some of the lace as curtains for the windows.
You’ll want to cut the lace and then add some glue to the inside area around the window.
I did this to all of the windows except for one. There’s a piece of paper in the box that has a beautiful Santa face on it. I decided to cut the face and add it to one of the windows.
This is an optional step but I feel like it gives the house a pop of fun.
The last step is to decorate the house. Because I want simple I decided to use Dots by FolkArt.
You can use this on the roof, around the windows and on the trim. This does come in a variety of colors but I went with white only.
I added one strand of battery operated lights to the inside of the house. You can find these lights on our website by clicking the link down below.
This was fun and easy to make. I hope this will inspire you to have fun and get creative.
