Let’s step take a step “outside the traditional” for a minute and instead of giving our “gingerbread men shapes” the same ole’ boring look this holiday season, while not make them into GINGERBREAD REINDEER BALLERINA FRIENDS instead!
Reindeer Gingerbread Ballerina Craft Idea For Christmas
Who says basic paper gingerbread man craft shapes have to be boring and decorated just as is? Why can’t we take them a little outside the traditional and make them into other fun holiday characters instead?!
I mean hello? Aren’t my Gingerbread Reindeer Ballerina Friends super cute?! And you can customize them however you like!!!
So with ALL that being said, I want to challenge YOU to do this craft with your child today! I’ve even included a FREE gingerbread shape printable for you to enjoy, in this very tutorial you landed on today! From there, you will just need to raid your craft stash for some colorful cupcake liners, pipe cleaners, rhinestones and small wiggle eyes.
Ready to take on the challenge? I sure hope so! Happy crafting my friends!
Please don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished paper gingerbread reindeer piece with us on our Facebook page to admire from a far this season! We can’t wait to see how awesome it turns out! #gluedtomycrafts
