DIY Gingerbread Houses
Y’all know my love for the Target Dollar Spot runs deep and I always find several goodies for the holiday season there. I also love to find cheap things that I can transform as well. Just like my simple Target Dollar Spot Hack I did last year as well. So that’s when I stumbled upon these cute little wooden houses, I thought they would be perfect to turn into DIY Gingerbread Houses instead! This was such a simple and easy DIY project and would be perfect to do with children as well!
Materials Needed For Project:
- Wooden Houses (I got mine from the Target Dollar Spot)
- Brown Paint (I used CraftSmart Golden Brown)
- Puffy 3D Fabric Paint in White
- Paintbrushes
- Fake Snow
After my houses were completely dry, I added the puffy paint to them. Thank of it like you are icing a sugar cookie. I went around and outlined the windows and added in a few drops like the snow was falling from them. I also did the same thing to the rooflines to the houses as well.
DIP HOUSES INTO FAKE SNOW
Before I started adding the puffy paint to the houses, I added some fake snow into a shallow bowl. That way I could easily access the fake snow while my puffy paint was still wet.After adding all the fake snow to the houses, I set them up and let them dry overnight. I put the puffy paint on kind of thick, so I knew it would take a little extra time to thoroughly dry.
These DIY Gingerbread Houses were so much fun to make! It just took me like one afternoon to do them and now I have some more festive Christmas decor to style in my home. The best part about it is that it was fairly inexpensive to do as well!

Your houses are super , simple, cute! I think it'd be fun to sprinkle the painted gingerbread parts with spices, so they smell like they look! Thanks for the inspiration!
