On an egg carton, mark and cut out the shape of a little person. Slightly flatten the legs. Paint the figure brown on both sides and set it aside to dry. Highlight the edges with white paint to create a “icing” effect. Add details such as eyes, a smile, buttons, and a bow. If you want to hang the gingerbread man on a Christmas tree, make a small hole and thread a piece of string through it. Finally, you can add some glitter glue to make the figure look even more festive.
Material used:
