Christmas is coming and we are very busy at school. Today we are going to show you the beautyfull gingerbread houses that 6th grade students made at the Arts & Crafts class.
Gingerbread houses became famous after Hansel and Gretel by the Grimm Brothers was published in 1812.Since then,the making of gingerbread houses during the holiday season became popular in the US and arround Europe. Gingerbread houses are typically made from hard gingerbread biscuits,united by a sticky white icing and decorated with a variety of sweets.
To make our gift boxes in the shape of a gingerbread house we used a template, scissors, glue,tissue paper,white card,coloured pencils,crayons and felt tips.
We coloured and pressed out the template.Then we folded it and glued it to make a house.
We added some tissue paper for snow and roof tiles.
We drew ,coloured and glued the windows,the door and another detais.
Here you are some photos of the process:
And here you are the finished gift boxes !!!
