Revisiting the Gingerbread Dollhouse

While I was unpacking the Christmas decorations this week, I came across the gingerbread doll house that I made for Josie last Christmas and thought it was worth sharing the tutorial again.

Target currently is selling a Christmas version of the Lalaloopsy doll. She's the perfect size for this gingerbread dollhouse.

The gingerbread house is made out of a wooden CD holder that are available from Michael's. If you can't find these CD holders, any wooden or cardboard structure would be a fine substitute.

By the way, the plastic candy embellishments are currently on clearance right now at Michael's and Hobby Lobby.

Gingerbread Dollhouse Supplies:

Brown paint (I used spray paint to speed up the drying process)
Wooden house cd holder
Plastic candies and miniature embellishments
Pipe cleaners, trim and lace
White glue and brush
Fine white glitter
Glue gun
Scrapbooking paper

Step 1. Spray paint your house brown and let dry.

Step 2. Using a brush, coat your roof with glue and cover with scrapbooking paper. You could also cover the roof with white polyfil for snow if you didn't want to use scrapbooking paper.

Step 3. Using your glue gun, add line a glue around the edge of the roof and add pipe cleaners for trim. I used clothes pins to keep the pipe cleaners in place as it was drying.


Step 4. Add plastic candy embellishments with glue gun, brush with a light coating of white glue (diluted with water) and dust with fine glitter.


Step 5. Hot glue lace on the interior windows for curtains.

Step 6. Fill with little characters, a bottle brush tree, some miniature packages, and have fun playing!

Merry Christmas and Happy Crafting!

XOXO
