Gingerbread Man Craft Stick Craft
We always love gingerbread man crafts. They come out so cute! Well, if one gingerbread man is great, then a couple would be even better. And that’s what we’re crafting today with this Gingerbread Man Craft Stick Craft. They’re just so simple and fun, and a sweet way to get creative.
This gingerbread couple is super sweet, but don’t take a bite. We can decorate them like we’re going to, though. With lots of gingerbread detail and gems for gumdrops, this is a couple that’s ready for the holidays.
Not only is our gingerbread couple a fun holiday craft to do together when looking forward to the holidays, but most of the supplies are available at Dollar Tree. You can use this craft to work on shapes, cutting, color and counting. They’re also perfect to use as a gift tag or, add a loop of twine to use as a Christmas tree ornament.
Gingerbread Couple Christmas Craft Stick Craft
To make our gingerbread man craft, you will need jumbo craft sticks, acrylic paint in brown and pink, white craft foam, medium sized googly eyes, green self-adhesive rhinestones or gems, sponge dabbers, a black marker, ribbon, scissors, and glue and glue dots.
Craft Stick Gingerbread Man Craft Supplies Needed
- Jumbo craft sticks
- Acrylic paint – brown, pink
- White craft foam
- Googly eyes, medium
- Green rhinestones or gems
- Sponge Dabbers
- Black marker
- Ribbon
- Scissors
- Glue
- Glue dots
Gingerbread Man Craft Step by Step Directions
Gather all supplies. To create both the Gingerbread Man and Woman, line up five jumbo craft sticks on your work surface. We use a scrap of cardstock fit to the width of the sticks glued to the back to glue together. Let the glue set.
Paint the front and sides of the gingerbread couple with brown acrylic paint. Let the glue dry completely.
Adhere two wiggle eyes to each gingerbread person. Create cheeks with pink acrylic paint and a sponge dabber. Let the paint dry again.
Now, create two simple wavy line shapes out of white craft foam for the gingerbread icing detail.
Then, glue one of the pieces of the white craft foam decorative icing to the top and bottom of each Gingerbread person.
Attach self-adhesive rhinestones or gems along the wavy icing detail. If you don’t have rhinestones or gems, you can use small buttons, pom poms, over even dots of acrylic paint.
Draw a large smile from cheek to cheek using a black marker.
Next, tie a strand of ribbon in two small bows. Using scissors, trim any long ends in a triangle pattern. Trimming the ends of the ribbon not only finishes the bow, but it also prevents the ribbon from fraying.
Finally, attach the bow to the top of the Gingerbread Woman and to the bottom of the Gingerbread Man with glue or glue dots to finish this adorable gingerbread man and woman craft. They’re so sweet, you just want to eat ‘em up! But don’t.
