Call me unhinged, but I’m deep into Christmas in July and I’m not sorry about it. Twinkle lights, cozy vibes, hot cocoa (okay, iced cocoa) ☕️ I want it all.
If you’re craving a little festive magic in the middle of summer, you’re in the right place. Come obsess over Christmas decor and cozy inspo with me, the AC is blasting and the nostalgia is real. ❄️✨

DIY Gingerbread Houses

Y’all know my love for the Target Dollar Spot runs deep and I always find several goodies for the holiday season there. I also love to find cheap things that I can transform as well. Just like my simple Target Dollar Spot Hack I did last year as well. So that’s when I stumbled upon these cute little wooden houses, I thought they would be perfect to turn into DIY Gingerbread Houses instead!

This was such a simple and easy DIY project and would be perfect to do with children as well!

DIY Gingerbread Houses
Look how cute they are!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

What You Will Need For DIY Gingerbread Houses:

  • Wooden Houses (as stated above I got mine from the Target Dollar Spot, but you could easily find them at a craft store as well)
  • Brown Paint (I used Craft Smart acrylic paint in golden brown)
  • Puffy Paint (I used Tulip Puffy Dimensional Fabric Paint in white)
  • Paintbrushes
  • Fake Snow
Materials Needed for DIY Gingerbread Houses
Everything you need to create these cute little gingerbread houses!

Paint the Houses

The first thing you need to do to transform these houses into gingerbread houses is to of course paint them!

I just used the cheap acrylic paint and chose a color that I thought looked the most like a gingerbread color.

I linked it above for easy reference as well. It took me total of three coats, but it did not take me long at all because it dries fairly quickly.

Painting the Gingerbread Houses

Add The Puffy Paint

After my houses were completely dry, I added the puffy paint to them. Thank of it like you are icing a sugar cookie.

I went around and outlined the windows and added in a few drops like the snow was falling from them. I also did the same thing to the rooflines to the houses as well.

Adding the Puffy Paint to the houses
You can see how I outlined them here.

Dip Houses Into Fake Snow

Before I started adding the puffy paint to the houses, I added some fake snow into a shallow bowl. That way I could easily access the fake snow while my puffy paint was still wet.

Dipping Houses Into Fake Snow
Here you can see I was dipping the houses into the fake snow!

I covered the whole rooftop with the puffy paint. I was using it kinda of like a glue for this part. Once I covered the roof, I dipped the house into a bowl full of the fake snow.

This way the wet paint secured the fake snow into place. I think it would be harder to add on if the paint was already drying so be sure to add the snow on as quickly as possible.

Adding the Fake Snow onto the House
Close up view of the rooftop to the houses.

After adding all the fake snow to the houses, I set them up and let them dry overnight. I put the puffy paint on kind of thick, so I knew it would take a little extra time to thoroughly dry.

Letting Gingerbread Houses Dry

Conclusion

These DIY Gingerbread Houses were so much fun to make! It just took me like one afternoon to do them and now I have some more festive Christmas decor to style in my home.

The best part about it is that it was fairly inexpensive to do as well!

I ended up putting these gingerbread houses up on the open shelves in my guest bedroom. I think they add in just the right amount of Christmas flair!

If you end up doing this project, let me know how it turned out for you! I love doing easy and simple DIY projects like this. It definitely keeps my creative juices flowing!

Call me unhinged, but I’m deep into Christmas in July and I’m not sorry about it. Twinkle lights, cozy vibes, hot cocoa (okay, iced cocoa) ☕️ I want it all.
If you’re craving a little festive magic in the middle of summer, you’re in the right place. Come obsess over Christmas decor and cozy inspo with me, the AC is blasting and the nostalgia is real. ❄️✨

For this week’s Tuesday Treats, I’m sharing a For this week’s Tuesday Treats, I’m sharing a super simple recipe!! This might be the easiest summer dessert you’ll ever make 🍑👇
Just dump it, bake it, and try not to eat the whole thing in one sitting 😅 This peach dump cake is that good—and yes, it’s as effortless as it sounds.
Full recipe is live on the blog: https://morningsonmacedonia.com/easy-peach-dump-cake/ 🍑 
And I’m baking it up in my fave @caraway_home pan (because cute + non-stick = win). Use code MORNINGS_ON_MACEDONIA10 for 10% off!

Take me back to last Sunday, living our best beach Take me back to last Sunday, living our best beach life and having the ultimate Sunday Funday at @ripleysmyrtlebeach! 🐠🌊 From sharks to stingrays to glow-in-the-dark jellyfish, the aquarium was so much fun. If you’re heading to Myrtle, this spot is a must. Check my stories for the link, you’re gonna want this on your itinerary! 😉✨

Charleston had me in a chokehold (again), so naturally I said “why not?” to 24 more hours in my favorite city 💕 We hit all our fave spots, soaked in every last bit of charm, and it was so worth it. Now back to reality… and counting down to the next getaway (even if it’s a long wait 😅)
I hadn’t stepped foot in @belk in ages… but wh I hadn’t stepped foot in @belk in ages… but when @caconover & @sewingdownsouth dropped their collab, I ran! 🏃‍♀️
We were able to check out the cutest downtown Charleston Sewing Down South pop-up store and I instantly fell in love with this dress 😍 The print has all the iconic Charleston landmarks and it has pockets, say less!
Comfy, cute, and totally made for strolling these historic streets all day 🌸

My poor hubby walked out this morning and saw his prized planter destroyed, and I’ve never seen him so heartbroken over a plant 🤣

They left it alone all summer, but last night? Total devastation.
Fingers crossed they don’t make a salad bar out of the rest of our garden 🙃
