Adorable, Easy Gingerbread Man and House Ornament https://happyhooligans.ca/gingerbread-man-and-house-ornament/ https://happyhooligans.ca/gingerbread-man-and-house-ornament/#respond Thu, 03 Dec 2020 21:20:07 +0000 https://happyhooligans.ca/?p=42199 Hey Lovely! I am on a mission to bring you a new holiday craft every day between now and Christmas.

I can assure you, they'll all be easy, made with basic craft supplies and recyclables, and they'll all be ADORABLE.

Case in point: today's super-cute gingerbread man in his gingerbread house.

These were inspired by a store-bought ornament (you can see it in the post), but I honestly think our homemade version is cuter!

We've made the cutest-ever gingerbread houses without a lick of sugar!

They're colourful, they're festive, and they're going to look terrific lining our Christmas dinner table. Your kids can make these to be the centerpiece on the kids' Christmas table as well.

I love that they look so yummy but they aren't going to harm any teeth or spoil any appetites. AND, you can make them with any old odds and ends that you have in your craft room!

Make one or two, or make a whole village to line a mantel, a windowsill or your holiday table!

Aren't they beyond adorable? Check 'em out through the link below!
