Gingerbread House Ornament



I tried making a mini gingerbread house ornament a few years ago but I didn't like the way it looked. Since then I've come up with a better way to do it, which I'm going to share.



 I started the same way, cutting all the sides of the house out of my card of choice; Amazon packaging. Then I glued all the bits together.




 Next I needed to paint the house a gingerbready colour using acrylic paint.

 Here comes the game changer. Using the same polyfiller and water mix in a bottle with small nozzle that I used here I was able to be more precise with the piping of the 'icing'.

Not too bad if I say so myself! I could see myself getting a little production line going and making a whole bunch of these.

  1. Aw this is so cute, and so much sturdier than any actual gingerbread houses I've ever tried to make - maybes card is the way forward
