Cardboard Gingerbread House Craft

Make a festive gingerbread house craft with a few simple supplies. Perfect for all ages.

Materials

  • Cardboard
  • Paint Marker
  • Craft Glue
  • White Glitter
  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Carefully cut out rectangle shapes from a piece of cardboard.
  • Cut one short end into a point to make a roof shape.
  • Using the white paint marker, outline the house in white paint.
  • Using that same paint marker, draw on a door, roof, windows, and little bits of detail like hearts, dots, and trees.
  • Carefully trace over the white paint with a bottle of craft glue.
  • Over the trash can, pour white glitter on top of the cardboard gingerbread house and carefully shake off the excess into the can or over a piece of paper.
  • Let the gingerbread houses dry.
  • Now you can add a loop of string to the back for ornaments, stick a magnet on the back for the fridge, or just decorate the house with them.
