Felt Gingerbread House

Finally, it's finished! Why I decide to take on a big felt challenge is beyond me. I think it's a great idea until I find myself living in a house full of coloured felt bits and pieces everywhere. Thankfully I have a new craft station which is the best thing and can be locked up when I am not using it, which will be great when gasp, Ruby starts walking. I have made it so I can remove the lid and put all my Christmas decorations in it when the festive season is over. I have cheated and I haven't done the back, you cant see it and it would have taken too long. Well I hope you like it.





I think that will be it now for Christmas. I might make some more puddings, oh and I have to make some cards but then that's it. Actually I am making Ruby a Christmas dress for Christmas day, but then that's it and on with other things in a new year.
My new years resolution is to finally do a craft stall and open an Etsy account, so look out for it, but lets get the rest of this year out of the way for now.
Merry Christmas and a safe new year to all.

  2. Hi there! Just found your blog and LOVE your felt gingerbread house. I am wondering if you have a pattern? Or tips on how to make it so sturdy? Anything would be appreciated! Thanks!!

    1. Hey there, thanks the house took me lots of fidley hours, but worth it. I dont have a pattern, basically I cut the house out of cardboard. Then I used double sided tape and covered each section of the house in the brown felt. I then did blanket stitching in white to join it together. The roof comes off and that took me longer as I hand stitched all the white and coloured circles on the top.
      Then it is a matter of making felt sweets and treats and I glued them on to make life easier.
      Hope this helped, have fun with it. (I store my decorations in it when it isn't the festive season.) Emma x
