Instructions:
1. Print out this Gingerbread Man Pattern and transfer the markings onto the appropriately colored corrugated cardboard. You need 2 gingerbread men, 1 backside of vest and 2 vest halves. Make sure to cut out one vest half in reverse.
2. Glue on the 2 front vest halves onto one gingerbread man body. On the other gingerbread man body glue on the back side of the vest.
3. Make 2 cross stitch eyes on the front body.
4. Glue the two gingerbread man bodies together.
5. Poke holes all around the outside edge of the gingerbread man and then sew together.
6. Use caution with this step. Use your craft knife and cut into one red bead and one white bead to create bead halves. Glue one red half on the gingerbread man as a nose. Glue both white bead halves onto the vest as buttons.
7. Connect a piece of yarn to the top of the gingerbread man to create a hanging loop. Add three beads to this hanging yarn before knotting off.
