Gingerbread Ornaments from Cardboard

Baked gingerbread may taste better, but cardboard gingerbread lasts longer. These ornaments are too cute and easy. After making ornaments for our tree, we made some to add as toppers for grandparent gifts. The most important materials you need for this project are cardboard [cut into shapes like gingerbread men, houses, trees, etc.], scissors, and paint markers (great for lots of projects) or acrylic paint. You can also use glue, googly eyes, ribbon, and stickers for embellishment. Remember to turn them over and decorate that side, too! If you have mod-podge/decoupage/glue or sealer spray, coat the dry ornaments as a final step to help them last.
