My Fancy and Frugal Gingerbread House Hack

Happy Holidays! This is my go-to holiday decorating hack to make these easy and cheap gingerbread houses look expensive. All you need is some leftover Halloween candy, spray paint, and some glitter to top!

First, run and grab your old Halloween candy. The colors do not matter for this hack. Skip the royal icing and grab your hot glue gun to place the candy on the gingerbread house. It holds a lot better and dries much faster.

We aren’t done yet! Once you spray paint these guys, you aren’t turning back. They end up looking so elegant that it’s hard to believe all you did was spray paint from candy!
