Make Miniature Gingerbread Houses

	Single serving milk cartons, empty and washed
	White Icing
	Graham Cracker Squares
	Decorations, candies, sprinkles or other holiday treats

Instructions

Get organized. Have all of your decorations, candies and other decorative items in individual bowls, containers or bags. Prepare white icing if you are not using store bought.

Gingerbread house

Each person should have their own single serving milk carton. Place your carton on a sheet of waxed paper on top of heavy cardboard or a paper plate.
Attach graham cracker squares to sides of carton by spreading icing on carton and pressing cracker firmly onto carton.
Do the same for the roof using two graham cracker squares. For area between sides and roof cut a graham cracker in half on diagonal to form a triangle and attach the same way.

Once you have your sides and roof attached use icing to attach decorations and candies to your house. You can pipe icing into the cracks with a cake decorator or with a plastic bag filled with icing.

Use your imagination to create windows and doors with different shaped and colored candies. Add other elements as you wish.

You can spread icing around your house on the paper plate or waxed paper to form a base that looks like snow.

Once your creation is complete you can allow to dry over night and use as a decoration year after year. Or, you can eat it right away!
