Gingerbread man's house

Even though there is not snow outside yet, that does not mean we can not make it, for this house to look like it has came out of a fantasy.

If you want to make this sweet Christmas house, you will need:

• big sheet of paper
• cotton (white and in color) 
• glue
• scissors
• ruler
• candies and candy canes
• markers
• toothpicks

To start you need to draw the scheme for the bottom and the roof of the house. The one on the photo is 15x6x6 cm (the bottom part) and 17x8x8 cm (the roof). 

Cut and fold them. After this step the parts need to look like this:

Glue them to form the parts of the house. After that glue them together. Cut a rectangular piece of paper, as big as you like. Glue the house on this base.

When you are done gluing it, draw the door and the windows.

On the both sides of the door, you can put decorative pillars. Those on out house are made from marshmallow. 

Draw a path from the door. Glue hard chocolate candies in different colors.

The part of the base that is left empty, cover with white cotton, to make winter idyll. The house will become more beautiful when it is covered with snow. 

The snowman that is keeping the house safe, can be easily made. Make three balls from the cotton in different dimensions. Put a toothpick through them, which will keep the snowman stand still. We used the cap from the candies for a hat. The broom is made from a piece of yellow cotton and a toothpick, and it is glued to the snowman. The eyes, nose, mouth and the buttons are drawn with markers.

The yard is decorated with cotton balls in different colors which are representing cotton candies. Near the house there is a lamp made from candy cane and a piece of yellow cotton.

Now the house is ready to welcome the new residents.

Creativity nest. :)
