Victorian Gingerbread House Template

By 3 Comments

Just a quick explanation here. I was searching everywhere for a Victorian style gingerbread house template and couldn’t find one anywhere. Well, at least anywhere that didn’t want to charge me $10 for it. It’s Christmas folks, seriously? So, I did find a printable paper house that you fold together, so I made a gingerbread template off of that.

I figured I’d throw it up here in case someone else could use it.

I’ll update with a picture of my house when it’s done.

NOTE: There is a page full of shutters, but really, just cut each window (that you cut out of the walls before baking) in half and you’ve got your shutters.

I finally added pictures! Here’s our finished house, after a very loooong night of decorating, and a very tired Oliver who was a massive help. Can’t wait to do it again this year!

The snow on the roof is just coconut. For the windows, I melted down sugar (with a bit of vanilla in it for flavour), then poured it into the empty windows and let cool and harden. I forgot to make a hole in the front though so that the entry windows would light up too.

    Thank you for this template! I will be making this house this year. Was in the same boat as you. I didn't want to spend $10 for a gingerbread house pattern, but didn't want a boring house. Never thought of looking for paper house patterns. That's my mom brain. Haha! Thanks again!

      Hey Mandy, Have fun! It was a bit of work, but Oliver and I had so much fun with it! I think I'm going to give one a try again this year (I was way to tired last year with a baby on the way), so hopefully I'll have another template. I want to see pictures when you're done!
