I loved coming up with different decorating swirls and motifs. I have included a close up of the different houses details for inspiration. The paint pens allowed me to infuse personality into each miniature dwelling, turning them into unique gingerbread creations.

BLOGGER’S BEST GINGERBREAD HOUSES

To make door and stained-glass window, with front wall still on parchment paper, replace front wall pattern piece (with door and window cut out). Carefully cut small door opening from front wall and remove cutout; set aside for later. Using a 1 1/2-inch circle cutter, cut small opening for window near top of front wall; remove cutout and any crumbs, and discard. In small resealable food-storage plastic bag, place two clear hard fruit candies, and seal.

Throw a Photo-Worthy Easter Celebration

If you don’t think you’ll use meringue powder or cream of tartar for anything besides this recipe, look for these items in the bulk section of your grocery store. “This is cute but as someone who collects the dickens village I’m HURTING,” commented @morganbarry4. Are you making your own gingerbread house this year?

Roll, Cut Out and Bake the Walls and Roof

As I worked on this project, I couldn’t help but think of all the creative possibilities that come with a gingerbread theme. It’s not just about painting; it’s about transforming ordinary objects into edible-looking masterpieces that bring joy to everyone who sees them. The Gingerbread Village has become the centerpiece of my holiday decor, eliciting smiles and admiration from friends and family alike.

The Gingerbread Galvanized Lanterns and Mini Houses

Transfer parchment and baked piece to cooling rack to cool completely. Carefully remove parchment from gingerbread house pieces. The holiday season is upon us, and there’s a sweet trend taking over the festive decor scene—gingerbread houses! But fear not, you can recreate this viral look for a fraction of the cost with just a can of spray paint, an evergreen wreath, and some paint pens.

Gingerbread House Ideas That'll Inspire You to Create an Epic Masterpiece

Revamp a plain ceramic Christmas village into a festive delight using spray paint, a white paint pen, and puffy paint. A base of spray paint provides a clean slate, while the white paint pen adds intricate details inspired by Pottery Barn’s gingerbread houses. Puffy paint adds the final touch, creating a personalized and whimsical holiday village. Using the photo at the beginning of this article as a guide, decorate side walls, front and back walls of house with icing and assorted decorations to make windows and wreath. Add shingles to roof pieces, attaching the round cutouts with a small amount of icing and overlapping them slightly, using photo as a guide. Let decorated gingerbread pieces stand at least 30 minutes until icing is set, before assembling the house.

Roof piece will hang slightly over the edges. Hold in place 1 to 2 minutes until icing starts to set. Use one to two jars or bottles for support underneath; allow to set 30 minutes. Attach front door, leaving slightly propped open; allow to set 30 minutes.

Fun in the Sun Backyard Party

Using flat side of meat mallet, gently pound to crush candies. Spoon crushed candies into opening, making sure candies touch edges of baked dough. (Do not mound candy in opening.) Carefully transfer parchment to large cookie sheet; return to oven 4 to 6 minutes or until melted. Remove from oven; cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet.

Remember to print out the template to make cutting out your pieces easy. Create a fun modern color scheme with pink frosting and green sour straps. Peppermint candy shingles and candy cane siding add an extra fun touch.

In large bowl, beat royal icing ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until mixed. Change speed to high and beat 7 to 10 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until very stiff. If desired, add gel food color to icing to create different looks for decorating. Prepare to top your gingerbread house with gumdrops, jelly beans, candy canes and a coating of powdered sugar snow.

With a peppermint window and a marshmallow roof, this house is (almost) too cute to eat. Those without a strong sweet tooth will appreciate this house. Decorated with almonds, macadamias and walnuts, this gingerbread residence is packed with protein.

While many viewers lauded the DIY dupe — “FINALLY!! ” commented user @jennafordie — others cried foul.

But this holiday season, the inspiration came from the viral sensation of the Pottery Barn gingerbread village. Now, every nook and cranny of my village is adorned with sugary sweetness and holiday cheer. Using the photo at the beginning of this article as a guide, decorate outside with any remaining final touches.

In fact, I took it a step further and transformed larger galvanized houses into charming gingerbread abodes. On lightly floured 16x12-inch piece of cooking parchment paper, roll remaining dough 1/8-inch thick. With lightly floured 1-inch round cutter, cut at least 120 circles to make shingles from dough, and transfer to large parchment-lined cookie sheet, spacing slightly apart. If necessary, reroll scraps, and continue with cutouts.
