Step 1: Unpack Your Gingerbread Kit

Start by opening your gingerbread kit. The kit comes with pre-baked pieces to construct the house—a roof, walls, doors, and chimney. Arrange these pieces on a clean workspace so you are ready to start building. Make sure to have a damp cloth nearby to keep things tidy. You can also set aside all your candy decorations to keep them handy, allowing for a smooth decorating experience later.

Step 2: Decorate Your Walls and Roof

Before assembling the house, it is best to decorate the walls and roof first. Use the white baking glue as both glue and decoration. Let your imagination run wild! Outline windows, add criss-cross patterns to the roof, and place little dots for sticking on the star-shaped sprinkle mix. Have fun decorating each piece with colourful sweets—there are no wrong ways to make your house festive! Feel free to use multiple colours and types of sprinkles to add even more character to your gingerbread house. This step is all about having fun, so do not be afraid to get creative!

Step 3: Start Assembling the House

Once you have finished decorating all the pieces, it is time to assemble the house! Use the white baking glue as adhesive. Start with the base pieces—apply glue along the edges of each wall, then carefully attach them together. Hold each piece in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to firm up. It might help to have an extra set of hands to hold pieces as they dry! If needed, you can prop the walls up using mugs or small jars until the glue hardens. Take your time with this step—ensuring a stable foundation will make adding the roof much easier.

Step 4: Attach the Roof on the House

Once the walls are assembled, it is time to add the roof! Apply a generous amount of white baking glue along the top edges of the assembled walls. Carefully place each roof piece on top, making sure it is securely attached. Hold for a few moments to ensure everything is sturdy—this step can be a little tricky, so patience is key! For extra support, you can add a line of glue along the inside seam where the roof meets the walls. Once the roof is attached, let it set for a few minutes before moving on to the final touches.

Step 5: Decorate the Final Touches

Now comes the best part—adding the final touches! Decorate the roof with a row of Christmas sprinkles, add gumdrops along the windows, or place jelly beans to resemble Christmas lights. You could even add shredded coconut to the roof to give it a snow-covered look. Do not forget the chimney—glue can help attach it to the top of the roof. Let your creativity take charge here and add any festive details you desire! Try adding a small icing snowman or a few candy trees around the base of the house for a charming winter scene. The more details you add, the more magical your gingerbread house will look.
