Gingerbread houses have been a part of Christmas for a very long time, but the idea of creating life-size gingerbread displays is something out of storybooks and movies. This addition to my front yard Christmas display may be small, but it's mighty! Follow this step-by-step tutorial and stick around to the end for what NOT to do (trust me, you don't want to make the same mistakes I did!)

How did you get the gum drops to stay in place in case of wind?

Great question! I wish I could attach a photo-but what I did was drilled a small hole at the base and used a 6” metal garden stake and pushed it through into the lawn. It worked perfectly!

I made these & used the pvc to adhere beads but am losing quite a few even after letting dry for days. Any suggestions?

The pvc cement dries fairly quickly (within a few hours at most). Maybe retry with a thicker layer of glue and press the beads into the areas where they have fallen off? They will come off if you intentially try to rub them. Otherwise mine were fine outside all through December of last year and I just checked them and they'll be ready for this season, as well. I hope it works out! Let me know!
