25 Gingerbread Houses for an Advent Calendar
The 25 Gingerbread Houses are fun to assemble, and there are also gingerbread men and women, hearts, and Christmas trees included in the cut-out PDF sheets, so you can create the cutest Christmas landscape. The houses are a sweet packaging for an advent calendar and can, for example, contain one of the many coupon books from Lou Noire.
At the same time, the gingerbread houses are cozy Christmas decorations that will surely spread holiday cheer! Hang gingerbread houses on a branch or let them adorn the windowsill alongside small gingerbread figures.
What’s Included?
The package consists of templates for 25 Gingerbread Houses, numbered from 1 to 25. The houses are designed in PDF format, ready for download and printing. Please note that the PDF file cannot be edited.
You’ll also receive instructions and a cut-out sheet with gingerbread men and women, hearts, and a Christmas tree, allowing you to create the cutest Christmas landscape.
NOTE: The Christmas houses come empty. The lovely glitter twine is available at multiple stores online.
Do you need an Advent Calender with 24 boxes?
Please note, that the PDF file contains templates for 25 houses – but if you’re making an Advent calendar with 24 boxes, you can still use this Advent calendar perfectly fine. Just refrain from printing the 25th house, then you’re all good!
Here’s how you do it!
Click the black button above to go to Etsy, where the item is sold. Select US Letter (if you live in the United States or Canada) or A4 (rest of the world). Add the product to your Cart and proceed to Checkout. Complete your purchase – and then check your email inbox! Download the PDF file and save it to your computer. The PDF file cannot be edited.
Print the houses in color on A4 paper. Tips for easy printing! Begin by cutting out the houses, then fold edges and flaps to create a small box. Apply glue to the white flaps and press the houses together. Start building the house around the white base, then fold the roof inward. Place a small gift inside the house before gluing the roof onto the white flaps. Make small holes in the brown flaps at the top and tie them together.
How to create a hanging advent calendar: Find a large branch and attach it to the ceiling. Hang the 25 gingerbread houses from the smaller branches.
How to create a Christmas landscape: Cut out the gingerbread decorations. Gently cut along the lines in the middle to keep the figures connected. Fold at the middle, at the base, and along the dashed line, then glue the figures together. Use a tray or windowsill to craft a Christmas landscape with houses and gingerbread men and women.
What you’ll need
To assemble the houses, you will need scissors and a glue stick, optionally a ruler and a hole puncher, as well as string to close and hang up the houses.
