Felt Gingerbread House
We are going all out with our gingerbread Christmas theme this year! So far we have designed some cute gingerbread gift wrap and candy huggers. And now today we are sharing the tutorial for how to make a felt gingerbread house.
Making a gingerbread house is always a fun Christmas tradition. But it’s always a little sad when it’s time to take it apart and throw it out. This felt gingerbread house is much more sustainable — once you craft it, you can enjoy it for years to come!

Loafin’ Around the Christmas Tree
In the past, we have created paper star toppers for our trees. But this year, we decided to switch things up and get a little more creative. Our designer Meagan came up with this felt gingerbread house that you can recreate with our pattern and embroidery guide. Just cut out the pattern with your scissors or Cricut Maker, and then follow our tutorial below. Follow the instructions here to make your own Gingerbread stuffies!
You can use the same colors of felt as we did. Or explore our selection of felt to find the colors you like best. If you’re crafting this felt gingerbread house with your kids, you can also have them pick out their favorite colors for this craft project.
Once you’re finished with your felt gingerbread house, share it with us on Instagram or Facebook by tagging #MadeWithLia. You can use your house as a Christmas tree topper. Or set up a holiday scene with a faux snow blanket, mini felt trees, and a felt garland.
We will be revealing our kid’s tree next week, so stay tuned for one more gingerbread craft idea! ~ Lia and team

Leave a Commentok. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Hello, NEW here to the crafting world. I was wondering, in the picture above with gingerbread roof open, what else is inside besides the gingerbread figures?
Thanks 🙂
We have these felt bulb ornaments tucked in there. Here is the link: https://liagriffith.com/felt-bulb-ornaments/
Are there instructions for constructing the gingerbread stuffies? I see it for the house but not the stuffies. Thanks!
It does not look like it. We do have a skill course video on making stuffies that might be helpful. https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/8-steps-to-create-any-felt-stuffie/
Hello, the template and the embroidery guide are blanc when I open them.
Is this normal?

I double-checked and the downloads look fine on our end. I would try a different web browser, and make sure your pop-up blocker is not activated.
Hi!! Is there a photo tutorial for this craft? Those are so helpful!
Nvm, I see it!! Lol
Oh glad to hear you found it 🙂
