As you know, I was off work all last week so I had a little staycation and it was glorious. But, we did spend a whole day in downtown Asheville and had a great date night! First, we stopped at @theblackbirdrestaurant for some brunch and then spent some time strolling and shopping all the stores like @mastgeneralstore and @anthropologie 🛍️ And our dinner at @ukiahrestaurant was amazing! That was our first time going there and it did not disappoint! And of course, we couldn’t end the evening without a sweet treat, so we got some @asheville.chocolate 🍫 All in all, a great date night and great week off. Although, I’m super bummed my staycation is over and it’s back to reality now 😂

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!

But I guess I just didn’t have a cute enough dispenser for it. So I’m glad I have one now! Do you leave oil & vinegar out on your counters too?!

We had the best time being tourists in our own cit We had the best time being tourists in our own city this past weekend. As you know, I was off work all last week so I had a little staycation and it was glorious. But, we did spend a whole day in downtown Asheville and had a great date night! First, we stopped at @theblackbirdrestaurant for some brunch and then spent some time strolling and shopping all the stores like @mastgeneralstore and @anthropologie 🛍️ And our dinner at @ukiahrestaurant was amazing! That was our first time going there and it did not disappoint! And of course, we couldn’t end the evening without a sweet treat, so we got some @asheville.chocolate 🍫 All in all, a great date night and great week off. Although, I’m super bummed my staycation is over and it’s back to reality now 😂

I just wanna be a stay at home cat mom 😹 But, unfortunately that doesn’t pay the bills for some reason. Let’s all home that this week flies by at least. Fingers crossed I make it through 🤣
