25 Adorable Gingerbread House Ideas You Can Recreate At Home
Is it really Christmas without making a gingerbread house? If you need some artistic inspiration before you get started making yours, have a look at these cute gingerbread house ideas first!
Making a gingerbread house is one of the best Christmas activities that you can share with your family and friends, and even by yourself! It’s where you can be your most creative self, but also show off your skills in house-building. Trust us when we say that building a gingerbread house is not as easy as it looks!
But don’t let this discourage you from making one this year, though. After all, it’s a fun and sweet Christmas activity and unless you’re decorative a gingerbread house for a competition, it really doesn’t need to be perfect!
You can either bake your own gingerbread house from scratch or just buy a gingerbread kit from your local baking shop, Walmart, Williams Sonoma or Etsy. You’ll need some royal icing to use as the “glue” to hold all pieces together, as well as to decorate the exterior of the house. Don’t forget to “glue” in your favorite treats too, such as M&Ms or Skittles.
To get you excited and help you get some ideas for this year’s gingerbread house, we rounded up the cutest designs we found on the internet. We’ve got you covered ranging from super extravagant house designs to just simple ones, depending on your preference and your skills.
Some of these houses have also been made with specific cookie cutter sets, which we’ve linked to in the images!
