I had to make 10 more gingerbread houses kits for Discover Club (program for home schooled kids) at work bringing the grand total to 40. Now that doesn’t sound like a lot but these gingerbread houses are a paper craft. So first I had to enlarge the pattern from the book, cut those out and make a test house to see if the kids would be able to do it. Then I had to trace all the pieces onto poster board, cut them out, and then score the tabs. Then make 10 more houses cause we thing there might be a large turn out. So that brings the grand total 240 pieces I’ve traced, cut out and scored. I’m just glad I did away with the roof tiles and traced the pattern directly on the roof panels cause that would have been 800 more pieces to deal with. Not to mention all the decorative stuff to go on the houses. I know it will be a fun project for them, I just hope they try and decorate them somewhat nicely so I don’t feel like this whole was a waste of time and unappreciated. I’ll be so glad when the project over and I don’t have to deal with gingerbread houses anymore.
