instructions:
- Start by cutting out the gingerbread house using the grocery paper bag and scissors. There are many different variations of gingerbread houses, so you can’t go wrong here.
- Now using the chalk marker add windows, a door and some designs! Go for polka dots, twirls, swirls, wavy lines and hearts. They all look good! The key is to make the gingerbread house look busy with every possible design you can think of.
- Next, using the watercolors and watercolor paper, add a hint of light blue to the whole paper for a frosty winter look. Let dry.
- Once dried, glue the gingerbread house to the dried watercolor paper.
- Now the fun step, using the glue add streaks of it across the blue sky and the ground. Add glitter, shake off excess and let dry. So frosty!
