Materials

  • White, brown, and pink crochet thread (approx. 30 yards of each color)
  • Thin wire (20-24 gauge) for structure
  • Beads for decoration (optional)
  • Letter beads (for names, optional)
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun

Instructions

  • Start by cutting several pieces of wire to create the frame of your gingerbread house. You’ll need a square or triangular shape for the base and roof. Then shape the wire into the outline of the house, bending it to form the walls and roof.
  • Knit the crochet thread around the wire frame. Use brown for the walls and pink for the door. To create the snow-capped roof, use white crochet thread and knit it around the top of the frame.
  • For the final touch, glue beads around the house for decoration. You can use small white beads as snow, and add colorful beads for candy decorations.
  • Attach a loop of crochet thread or string at the top of the house to create a hanger. This way, you can easily hang the ornament on your Christmas tree.
