Dec 6th: Gingerbread Dollhouse pt. 3

Welcome to the third and final part of the gingerbread dollhouse. Yesterday we've sewn the house together and all that's left to do today is decorating. If you've missed yesterday's post, you can find it on the right in the Advent Calendar 2017 section.

So let's start decorating!

How it's done:

1. Take your buttons and sew them securely in place, making sure the loops of your ribbons reach them to close the house. Tip: you could use white buttons and paint on red swirls to resemble peppermints.
2. Make a door from felt or fleece. I wanted mine to look like a biscuit, so I took light brown fabric and cut a wavy-ish edge. It's easiest to glue the pieces on instead of sewing.
3. Add "icing" by gluing on white ribbon or felt/fleece. 
4. Make windows maybe? How about trying to immitate jelly beans or gummy candy? Just have fun decorating your house.
You can also make windows from the inside or even add furniture (if you have enough time to do so, the furniture could actually be 3D). You can get inspiration for furniture from the sweets series in Animal Crossing for example.

I hope you've had fun making the gingerbread house with me! I would be really happy to see all of your creations! Have a nice day!
