This is a perfect way to dress up your home for the holiday and overwhelm may even okay until January. You can include the children! Rather than real, edible gingerbread men make up them and let you decorate with puff paint (aka "frosting"). You can also add embellishments such as buttons, Ribbon, and Rick rack, give you a little extra cuteness. Stick to just any extra's.
-Gingerbread man template (two sizes are in the PDF template and instructions download)
-Large brown paper grocery bags
-String, twine, ribbon or raffia swag
-Etwas for tracing. White chalk would like to use. If something permanent trace not result page use.
-Nähmaschine (although hand stitch could be anyone, it would be a lot of work!)
Filling (100% polyester Edition - any cheap)
I use-Puff paint - mainly white, but that is your prerogative
-Optional embellishments: Rick rack, Ribbon, lace, buttons... etc..
Paper bags: Cut in the middle of one page (on the fold). Then cut to/from the bottom of the bag and discard.
Templates: If you are using a permanent marker/pen, trace on the printed side of the paper, so that it not appear if you them together. I personally like, white chalk and trace directly to the result page use. I also track and cut out a little thicker than the template.
Track as many as you can fit, reverse the pattern to better customize. You need two cut-outs for each final gingerbread man.
Use two snippets - plain side out - layer one, then some filling, the second pane (place cotton). You want to keep the cotton from the edges a bit. Pin-about the snippet sandwich together, to keep the cotton in and the place while sewing. Now the edges with white thread attaching to (or whatever you want whatever color) approximately 1 / 4 "seam." Sewing will show so playing with a zig-zag stitch or straight or even some decorative stitching. Keep in mind that you will make many of these are it change if you want to. Before the sewing, see section "HANG" (Next).
There are a few methods to hang the Bunting (option "a" or "b" are easiest and my choice):
a) make all men have cut your string full length you want it to be and then glue it hot on the back of men.b) cut lengths between individual men, knot each end and then at the "fingertips" WHILE the men together sew sewing should be.c) cut to string in its entirety, was on the inside (sewing on the chest and "Fingertips" BEFORE.)
That's it! You can easily customize these patterns and the idea of substance for the gingerbread men or even do other shapes, such as Christmas tree's or snowmen. You could even mix it up and include many different forms on a string of the Emberizidae.
f you want to keep this project around or want the templates here is PDF template and instructions (gingerbread men Bunting) for printing.
