We had some small gifts to wrap today so we thought we would make our own wrapping paper – gingerbread house style, of course!
Equipment needed to make gingerbread house paper:
sheet of styrofoam (we used a piece from a pizza box)
cookie cutter
brown paint and brush
sheets of white card
rolling pin
How to make your own gingerbread house paper:
Use a cookie cutter to impress your chosen shape into the piece of styrofoam. We did this several times with a gingerbread house cutter.
Cover your styrofoam sheet with brown paint.
Next, carefully place a sheet of white paper or card over the top of the painted styrofoam. Gently press down with a rolling pin.
Carefully peel off the paper to reveal your gingerbread house shapes!
We think this makes super cute wrapping paper or gift tags for little gifts!
Ginger bread house paper? I’ve never heard or seen anything like it before actually, and it’s turned out so well! Going to give it a try – at least i’ve still got some time until the big day haha x
