Today begins a week long feature of wonderful Dolliday craft ideas and projects. Today we have a craft project from Brenda, with some help from Sophie and Kurtis!

1. Print out the Gingerbread House pattern on 8 1/2 x 11 paper.
2. gather craft materials: thin cardboard box, white glue, glitter, bric-a-brac, beads, lace, gem stickers, anything you like.
3.
Using a cereal box, or any thin cardboard box, cut out all the parts of
the house. Get help from an adult to hot glue the house together. White
glue will work too it just takes longer to dry. Remember to make sure
the brown side is out! We used a pink marker to color the door so it
shows up better.
4.Using white glue apply a layer of glue to the roof.
5.
Use either glitter or cotton for snow. I used the crystal glitter that
looks like ice crystals. Use an old pie plate or shoe box for
glittering, so the glitter can be reused.
6. Decorate your house. When we had glue drip down we glittered it! It looks like icicles!
7.
I repeatedly added layers of glue and glitter so the house looks
covered in ice crystals or sugar crystals since this is a Gingerbread
house! Be sure to cover all the house seams with glitter or other
decorations.

ENJOY!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us, Rhonda. Brenda did a great job. I had wanted to do the Gingerbread house project with my daughter at AG but it costs $33 so we'll pass this time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great alternative! Very cute!
