Make a Gingerbread House Out of Cardboard

Gingerbread is a holiday classic; everyone wants to eat gingerbread cookies and make gingerbread houses. Though sometimes, gingerbread house kits can be expensive and feel like such a waste of food. Is there an alternative? Yes, try making them with cardboard boxes! Rather than baking the gingerbread and buying edible candy, you can cut it out from cardboard and decorate it with beads from any craft store, some paint, and glue.

Now you'll be able to reuse the same gingerbread house every year as a holiday decoration and not have to worry about being wasteful or spending too much money.
