Let’s have a little of make belief, Imagine you are outside this Gingebread house and you are approaching the front door, looking down there is this very querky looking doormats.
(Heads up, when you use the links on this page to make a purchase, I may get a small commission and may eventually earn enough to buy tea for two and and some chocolate muffins!) full disclosure
This doormat can have any wording or image of your choice. Let’s say it reads ‘Eat me, at your pleasure!!! or ‘Tasty treats and much more inside!!’
So in this instance, your design would welcome your visitors before they stepped into this unusual mouth-watering cottage style house!
Now back to real life, your design, your choice, your idea, you can use images of your favourite pet, or members of your family, a couple, scenery, or a simple logo!
Nothing to hand, you can choose from an array of images available from their library and you write your own message.
Easy graphics to use and you start with an blank canvas, you just do the picking and choosing!
Personalise for any occassion, great isn’t it!

I’ve always been a fan of gingerbread houses and absolutely love the kit you shared in this post. What a shame it had to be eaten though! Your cardboard version is so creative. I’m sure both kids and adults would have great fun making it. I also love the extra treats, especially the doormat!
Hi Kathy, I know the best part of the Gingerbread house kit is in the making, unfortunately
my two volunteers could not resist tasting it! If it were me I would have had it sat on top
of my fireplace in its full glory! lol
I am glad you liked the treats, coincidentally the doormats are made in Germany where the
Gingerbread houses were mostly recognised! can you imagine designing a doormat with a
Gingerbread house on it!
Thanks for your comment and agree with how fun it would be for kids and adults to have a go
at making a cardboard version and don’t forget to save your brown cardboard packaging and you can
have a go too!
The gingerbread house is always a good project to introduce to couples and families. Cardboard ones we have not heard of and so we had to keep reading to understand how to make one. We will end up trying this we just made a real gingerbread house for Christmas me and my wife had a blast. We bet this one will be one to along with the special gifts at the end of the article.
Cheers,

Hi there, glad you had fun making a real Gingerbread house! My two volunteers did too!
The reason why I introduced a cardboard version of the same thing, is because I look to
recycle throw-outs into fun crafts for kids and as I collected a bit of brown packaging
it came in handy, perfect for this kind of project to try out!
As for the two treats at the end of the article, I thought as crazy and zany as there are
kind of tied in with this make belief Gingerbread house and fun to jump in and check out!
Thanks for your comment and do have a go at making a cardboard version, it can be just as
fun and creative too even if it’s out of season 🙂
Awesome article! Loved the gingerbread house, will definitely try to make one with my kids, I think they’ll love it, amazing cardboard house – real creativity. Also love the idea of having personalised mat no sure I would feel comfortable wiping my foot on my loved ones faces though.
Thank you
Hi there, so glad you liked the Gingerbread house project! you can have a go anytime, keep hold of all your cardboard, grab yourself some paints and anything colourful, tissue paper, pompoms and you are good to go!.
I agree with you, it did cross my mind about wiping my feet on someones face lol, but you can always wash these mats and get them back to scratch!
Thanks for dropping by and if you get to make a cardboard Gingerbread house with your kids, drop us a line and I can add it as an update!
Happy crafting!
