Creative Gingerbread House Decorating Ideas


Making gingerbread houses every year can be fun, but it also makes you want to branch out and do a creative or weird design every now and then.

I’ve made some weird gingerbread houses in the past, and I love coming up with ideas for funny and creative gingerbread house themes. This list is going to be my working list of different possible gingerbread house theme ideas, and I’ll be adding templates and photos as I either design or make them.
