Paper Gingerbread House Tutorial

New video! Shows how to create a paper gingerbread house!


After the video was uploaded, I realized the clip showing how to put the house together accidentally  got deleted. To put together the house, fold back all the tabs, put glue on them, and glue the pieces together. If you have any questions, please comment below :)

Here are the patterns for the house:

(Make sure to print these at 8x10)

Also, on the pattern below, don't cut the whole window out,
leave some space around the inner lines :)




If you create this, I'd love to see it! Tag me on instagram @essyjae or email me at pugdemonium1@gmail.com.

Paper Haunted Houses

New video! This one shows how to create these 
paper haunted houses that you can fill with candy! 

And when the candy is gone, you can put a light in them (not a candle :) ) 
and use them as luminaries!


Candy doesn't last a super long time at my house, haha, so these
houses in the photo are not filled with candy.
But, something like the mini candy bars would be perfect to fill it with!

Here are the patterns you'll need:

then click the print icon in the top center)

Halloween Countdown Pumpkin

New video! October is here, which means Halloween is quickly approaching. Here is a tutorial to create a chalkboard pumpkin to count down to Halloween with!


You will need:

-chalkboard paint
-acrylic paint
-small & large paint brushes

-chalk

1. Use the pencil to draw an outline of where the chalkboard paint will go on the pumpkin.

2. Fill this area in with chalkboard paint. It's best to do at least 2 coats - let dry an hour between coats.

3. Use the acrylic paint to add a border and the "days until Halloween" lettering.
