BEAUTIFUL WAYS FOR DECORATING WITH GINGERBREAD HOUSES

Today we wanted to share with you the idea of decorating with gingerbread houses. You can incorporate works of art your loved ones have made or replicas purchased at a home decor store. No matter where your gingerbread house came from, it deserves to be displayed center stage.

If you have a family tradition of assembling gingerbread houses yearly, then you know the work that goes into each beautiful piece.

Maybe you don't have a baker's tomb but have purchased ceramic or wooden gingerbread houses.

We can't wait to show you some great ways to put your decorated gingerbread house on display in your home.

DECORATING WITH GINGERBREAD HOUSES

GINGERBREAD HOUSE DECORATING PARTY DECOR

Tanja, at Enchanted Parties Montreal, owns a business focused on party-throwing. This party was a gingerbread house decorating party and the decor is breathtaking.

It would be fun to throw a party like this on a beautiful day outdoors. We have lots of outdoor party decoration ideas.

Using gingerbread house cookies and full houses as part of party decor is a brillant idea. You don't only have to be decorating gingerbread to in-cooperate them in your decor. Consider using them if you are hosting a cookie exchange or a simple gift exchange. Gingerbread houses make beautiful centerpieces.

If you have the talent that Merja, over at Silverodlan, has then your gingerbread house can stand alone as decor on your kitchen countertop. A snowy wonderland can be captured by sprinkling some powdered sugar on a platter that you set your gingerbread house in the center of.

Adding twinkling lights inside your gingerbread house adds even more glamour, don't you agree? Last year I made a Apple Candle Village that in-cooperates another twinkle to your home.

Scattering gingerbread houses throughout your coffee bar that have purchased from your favorite home decor store is a great idea. The neutral colors don't distract from other decor.
