Gingerbread houses in a Christmas village
Dec 27th, 2007 by iHanna
We made nine (9!) gingerbread houses this year. I decorated three, my cousin Charlotta made three, my brother two and my mother one.
Here they are:
The backside of two of my houses. They are happy houses, can you tell?
The house of death and the Chocolate roof house that my brother made.
Charlotta’s blue disco house, definitely the most stylish one of the lot.
The striped house with liquorice roof.
The brick house with my hand for size meausure.
My first try at the left with the ice bear and ketchup curtains. Ugh!
Mom’s house with the bear and my brother’s house with the scar, the hang snare and the evil cat on the front lawn.
The haunted house gingerbread house from the side where you can view the spider net and the skull on the roof. I was surprised and very satisfied with my brothers ability to just through himself into the creating of these houses. I hardly ever see this side of him and I love when it blooms like this.
Me with the raspberry house - my personal favorite because it looks so happy.
I hope those will inspire you to make something similar next year. Our houses was displayed in a long row on the dinner table on Christmas Eve, and are now placed on the mantle over the fireplace. They look awesome and I’m equally proud about my own houses as I am over the others!
Also see our preparations!
How wonderful! Your brother’s house had me laughing so hard. I love the idea of all these colorful little houses lined up along the dining table. They’re all so pretty, and looking at the photos, I can feel the fun you all had making them together.
These look wonderful. Sounds like you had an amazing time. How cool that your brother participated with you.
*hugs*

Wow! These are gorgeous! i definitely want to do some haunted gingerbread houses for next Halloween with my niece. We did a gingerbread tree this year, but it didn’t turn out that great. I didn’t have any candy to use for decoration. Next time, I’ll make SURE I have a bunch of stuff on hand…I love what you’ve done here!
Oh, that looked like great fun!..and the houses have smiles! That was SO cute! Made ME smile :)
Oj, vilket gäng med hus! ser kul ut!
Oh, de är vackra allihop!! God fortsättning! :)
Great houses! They are so colorful and happy!

[…] My cousin was over for another Craft Night this week. We had so much fun when we did the gingerbread houses that she wanted to challenge me for a bit of Easter Crafting. I haven’t laughed this much for a long time! We did Easter Eggs with wet felting and I snapped some blurry photos while we were creating… So here is another tutorial from yours truly! […]
[…] What do you think? Isn’t that the work of a creative genius? Crafting together cousin-with-cousin we’ve also felted easter eggs, painted faces and had great fun in the kitchen last year when we made the gingerbread village! :-) […]
Hmm cute little houses. They’ll be yummy.
