How To Make A Paint Chip Gingerbread Man Craft

 

 

This Paint Chip Gingerbread Man Craft is certain to become a holiday craft favorite! 

 

I don’t know about you, but I love repurposing items and finding ways to use them as something else…Not only does this include items around my home, but I think this way as well when it comes to crafting and creating. It’s no joke that kids can go through a ton of glue, tape and other materials when trying to get that craft creation just perfect! 

 

Instead of using paper upon paper in our home, I had the idea to use Paint Chip samples for our local store instead. Seriously, how adorable did these Paint Chip Gingerbread Man crafts turn out? 

 

Not only do they add a totally unique spin on the craft, but we got to work on so many skills as well such as cutting, gluing and also talking about the different varying shades that each color can have. While this gingerbread craft may not be edible like the cookies are, they are one craft that can bring a smile to anyone’s face this holiday season!

 

Decorate your tree, your fridge or even your windows with this adorable Gingerbread Man craft! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To begin making this Christmas craft, trace the outline of the gingerbread cookie cutter on the back of the paint chip and use the scissors to cut out.

 

 

 

 

Next, glue 2 small googly eyes on the gingerbread man’s head. Then, glue 2 or 3 buttons down the center of the gingerbread man’s body.

 

 

 

 

While the glue dries, cut the ric rac as wide as the gingerbread man’s arms and legs. Then, glue the pieces to the paint chip.

 

 

 

 

Finally, use a marker to draw a mouth.
