Cubical Office Decorating Contest
+3
My office is having a cubical decorating contest. I am pretty decent with crafts, but I am struggling with this one. I wanted to have my desk look like a gingerbread house, but trying to get all the cardboard to stay up is challenging...any ideas?

You need construction paper, posterboard, paper bags, candy canes, peppermint candies, twine, push pins, tape glue and some imagination! Cut out white strips and glue them onto sheets of blue posterboard forwindows. If you want curtains, glue decorative paper behind the top strip before you put it on the posterboard. Put this (or these) outside your cube.Then cut scalloped white pieces and push pen them (or tape them) to the top of your cube for icecicles.Draw a big circle (a dinner plate can be the guide) and paint red strips on it...do the same in making candy canes! (get some candy to look at to see how to paint).Rounds cut out of paper with the center cut out can be different flavored candy! Make a snowman with different size rounds cut out of white paper and decorate. Make a tree out of green paper and put different color items for decorations.Tie some real candy canes and peppermint twists together with some red or green knitting twine and hang them around inside. Use some paper bags to make gingerbread men. You can make them all sizes. simple pattern and dots for eyes and mouth is all you need. If you want to fancy them up, put some red or green twine around their necks for scarfs!Make a door out of red strips of crepe paper tied to yarn and push pinned to your cube or taped.Here is a photo of a cute, simple house and simple gingerbread men!!https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/holiday-gingerbread-house/?catalogId=38&sku=3343758&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Food%20%3E%20Cakes%2C%20Cookies%20%26%20Baked%20Goods%20%3E%20Cookies&kwid=productads-adid^225852450174-device^c-plaid^371355611181-sku^3343758-adType^PLA&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsK7RBRDzARIsAM2pTZ9NkwpUrXyLjGGn8Kx0TJoENwbRRomxtkToF7wxJnOzXdBaGI8uGWgaAnG5EALw_wcB&cm_ite=[[PLA]%20-%20NB%20Desk/Tab%20-%20(Good%20RPC)]------------https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS751US751&ei=TdsrWoqAE4aPmQGYiYbQDw&q=photo+of+gingerbread+man&oq=photo+of+gingerbread+man&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0j0i22i30k1.185316.186638.0.186927.5.4.1.0.0.0.109.282.3j1.4.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.5.287...33i22i29i30k1.0._XnDCnX7SRU -

You could decorate shirt sized boxes to become the "inside" of your gingerbread house. Just cut the same size out of your cardboard and attach the shirt box to the back side. You could do a couple to look like different rooms in the house. (Be sure to put a Christmas tree in the living room and maybe a fireplace with stockings too.) It's all about perspective, right? -

Maybe get those stick on velcro tabs, one side on the cardboard should get it to stick to those fabric cubicle walls.
