If you have kids, you can also get them involved cutting out the pieces and hand stitching them on if they are able to sew. Another advantage of this house is that it will last for years!   Copyright: All patterns, pictures and text found on Craftideas.info are property of this website and may be only printed out and used for private or non-commercial purposes. It is not permitted to use them on the internet or in any other publication. For this project you will need: - thick felt (about 4 mm thick) in the colors of   medium brown and white for the house and   roof - stiff brown felt (aka modelling felt) for the   doors and windows - thin red, brown and pink felt for the details   such as the snowflake, heart, star and   candies - white and red embroidery   floss - pattern (below)   Instructions: Before starting, print out this gingerbread house pattern to fit your paper. It is a PDF version so you will need the Adobe reader program to open it. 1. Follow the instructions on the pattern and transfer the markings on the pattern to the appropriate felt pieces and cut the pieces out. 2. First sew the 4 house pieces together using the blanket stitch. You have a front and back house piece and 2 side walls. 3. Now take the two roof pieces and sew the short sides together. 4. Place this piece now onto the house and match the two front and the two back roof angles to the felt and sew the roof on. You do not need to sew the side walls to the roof. The roof should hang over these. 5. Now sew the front roof piece onto the roof using the blanket stitch. Start adding the details and stitch each of these on using the embroidery floss. 6. This is a picture of the details.
