INSTRUCTIONS:
- The first thing you want to do is measure the space you plan on putting these gingerbread finishing’s on. Measure your doors/windows/arches or wherever you’re putting these
- Take your insulation foam board & mark your measurements.
- Score the board where your marks are & then just break it off
- It’s time to pipe on your frosting. Take spray foam & slowly pipe it on like frosting. A zigzag design looks good
- Once your spray foam is dry you can spray paint the “frosting” white
- To make the peppermints -you need to take your insulation foam board & cut it into a round.
- Paint your round white. Once dry you can draw out outlines of where you want your red stripes to go
- Then paint in your red strips. You could also use red craft foam as an alternative
- To make the gumdrops -take deli cups & spray paint them all kinds of fun colors of your choice
- While the deli cups are still sticky from the spray paint you can sprinkle glitter on top for a sugary finish
- Once everything is dry all you need to do it hot glue the candies onto the piping boards
- Then to hang use mounting tape & place the piping pieces where needed
- Ta-da!
