Makin's Clay® Gingerbread House

Gingerbread House by Cindi Bisson 

Materials: 


Makin's Clay® - Terra Cotta, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, White 
                     - Ultimate Clay Machine™, Ultimate Clay Extruder™
Sizzix Eileen Hull's Scoreboard Pro House 3D #656836, 12x12 Matboard, Big Shot Pro 
Judikins® Diamond Glaze, glass microbes 
Elmer's® Craft Bond 
Plaid® Mod Podge Dimensional Magic 

Makin's Clay® was used to transform the paper house into a "good enough to eat" Gingerbread House which is illuminated using tiny Christmas tree lights.   The roof pieces were hand covered with white Makin's Clay® to resemble white frosting.  Individual "gum drops" were then made from Makin's Clay®, allowed to dry overnight and then mounted to the frosting roof using Elmer's Craft Bond Adhesive.  Once the glue was set, each was dry brushed with more Craft Bond Adhesive and sprinkled with tiny clear glass beads for a sugared effect.    The main walls of the house were covered with Terra Cotta Makin's Clay® rolled thin on the Ultimate Clay Machine®.  The house itself was used as a cutting template, and once the clay was applied to t he chipboard, it was textured with a Makin's Texture Sheet from Set A to resemble gingerbread.   Once the house was assembled and the roof mounted, it was time to begin completing the decorations.  The frosting trim on all edges was created with white Makin's Clay® using the Ultimate Clay Extruder®.  The tiny peppermint candies for the trim and roof of the entry were created by extruding two thin ropes of red clay and white clay, alternating them together to form a cane, then cutting into tiny slices.  Once dry, they were applied to the gingerbread walls and coated with Judikins Diamond Glaze™ for a bit of shine.  The same twisted canes were used to create the candy canes, which were also coated with Judikins Diamond Glaze. The lollypops were created with primary colors of clay and natural clay sticks.  Once dry, they were mounted to the gingerbread walls and then coated with Plaid Mod Podge® Dimensional Magic for a dimensional glassy shine like a real lollypop (dries clear - shown wet in photo).  Faux Life Saver Candy wreaths were created with green and red clay and mounted to the roof peaks.  Clay gumball accents over the door finished the embellishments. 

Makin's Clay® Make n Take Frozen Party!

This past Saturday Annie Mangelsen, Jennifer Mangelsen and Tom Volz were on-hand to help children of all ages create Makin’s Clay® snowman ornaments at the Frozen Party
 being hosted at the David M. Mangelsen store. 

The announcement was made and the people came in droves....

The snowman ornaments were the most popular to create... 

using Makin's Clay®.

 They turned out adorable as you can see by the above photo!

They had planned on doing about 48 Make n Take projects,

but within the first hour there were about 40 people in line

and it was a 3 hour event.

So, not wanting to diappoint anyone who came to create a project...

 they went to the Makin's Clay® warehouse to get more clay

and ending up completing approximately 150+ projects 

in 3 1/2 hours.
