Take your favorite annual holiday project to the next level by putting a little more thought into how you display it. Gingerbread houses are such a great tradition, and I always have so much fun with my family competing for the best decorations. But afterwards, the cute house goes to waste on the little piece of cardboard I set it up on. This year I decided to seek the best ways to showcase my gingerbread house that will really complement the rest of my holiday decorations.
Jar—Protect your gingerbread house from little fingers or dust in a large jar. If you can’t find one large enough, look around for a fishbowl. The glass will make your creation look like a magical, Christmas snow globe.
Tree BarkSlice—If naturalbohois your aesthetic,display yourhouse on top of a trunk slice. These are also often used as cake stands, so they are easy to find on Amazon.
Cake stand—Add a whimsical or traditional element to your gingerbread house using a cake stand. Depending on your Christmas theme, you can find or create cake stands for every style.
Old Books—Place your gingerbread house on some larger old books for a mid-century feel. Cut out a piece of wax paper smaller than the book,but larger than the gingerbread house,so you don’t ruin your books.
In Greenery—Another way to showcase your natural inclination, adding greenery to your gingerbread house is always a good idea. We suggest you just use a regular cookie pan and then add the greenery you think will match the best. Then, set the house on top.
Serving Tray—Another traditional option, a serving tray is a great way to display your gingerbread house safelyand in festive style.
Show us the festive ways you've displayed your gingerbread house by posting them on Instagram and tagging @walkeredisonco!
