I love the warm, nostalgic feeling that gingerbread brings to a home during the holiday season. My mom used to host gingerbread-making parties with freshly baked gingerbread, creating memories that have stayed with me.
This pattern will bring that same holiday magic into your home with a gingerbread house that’s sure to be a statement piece in your Christmas décor. Don’t be surprised when guests compliment your new gingerbread house the moment they walk through the door!

Pattern includes a temple to cut out a cardboard house. you will stretch your finished project over the cardboard structure.
