Cardboard Gingerbread Houses Tutorial. A Cheap and Easy DIY for Christmas

[@raeboyd5596]

You never cease to amaze me. It looks just beautiful!

[@suehart3641]

That’s just brilliant Marion. You are so skilful. You should be very proud.

[@pamfrank3962]

Brilliant 👏 👏 wonderful idea. Thank you for sharing

[@annrubino6252]

It's such fun to watch you create something like this - the way you don't seem to fuss and yet it turns into a beautiful swan (woops - goose). When you turned the lights on, all the angels sang 'silent night' in my head. You made me feel like an excited child. This, I can do. Not as well as you but it will be mine. Thank you dear Marion.

Hello Marion ... Love this! We are making this row of houses with the grandchildren . Brilliant idea! Thank you Mary Suzanne from British Columbia Canada

[@ingridibBerland]

Like yourgingerbread house a lot

[@susanbeattie9333]

Well you’ve done it again, sprinkling Marion magic on to some cardboard and voila a wonderful, magical gingerbread street. Love it! ❤❤❤

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks Sue... :)

[@carolgarner5971]

I wish I had 1/10th of your talent and imagination. That set of houses are so cute. Thanks for sharing

[@annekennerley2501]

I am enjoying your Advent videos very much, they are like a little present every day. The Gingerbread village is my favourite so far x

[@shinybreesilver3264]

So simple and so amazingly pretty….. The idea to cover the windows with tracing paper and place lights behind it was lovely.

[@marionsworld24]

Thank you 💐

[@winniepeg9869]

Awe that’s quite nice! Don’t you just love making things out of what’s lying around? I’ll bet your house is feeling so Christmassy!

[@marionsworld24]

It is!

[@gillianpayne374]

A real success Marian. I was wondering how it would work out but as usual it turned out great. I should know by now not to doubt you. Now....can I find enough cardboard!! 🤫

[@michelleramsey4302]

Marion said "They want how much for a Christmas Village!??...Not in this economy"..lol...give me two hours some cardboard and some paint and watch a masterpiece come to life....lol....Love You Ms Marion, the world is a better place with you in it....❤❤❤❤

[@marionsworld24]

:) Exactly Michelle. I need that money for thread, fabric and wool! It's only there for a couple of weeks anyway... :)

[@sonya555ify]

Hello Marion Iam so enjoying your advent videos all your work is amazing Big hugs Sonya

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks Sonya 😊

[@huntergraym]

Amazing with such simple ingredients

[@christined.9859]

Oh this is wonderful, Marion!! I just love it! 😍 thank you for the inspiration!

[@mariakirchner6437]

So beautiful Marion😍🎄✨

[@teresabrown836]

Hello Marion, you have such incredible talent and i love to see what you done, thank you for sharing. Xx

[@GillianHall-zu8xb]

Your gingerbread street looks so pretty lit up Marion , thank you for sharing xx

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

We definitely have a shared love of creating with what we have and letting our inspiration guide us. Cheers, Christine

[@marionsworld24]

Definitely...😊 Inspiration in lieu of having any funds in my case 😅

[@wendymanning9617]

Your Christmas village is so cute. It reminds me of the crafts I used to do with my mom at Christmas. We didn't have a fireplace until my dad added on a family room. So my mom used to make one out of cardboard and we'd paint it up and put it on the living room wall. Then we made candles and poinsettias, logs and fire, etc. from construction paper to decorate it. A place to hang our stockings. Thanks again, Marion

[@marionsworld24]

I think that sounds brilliant Wendy! Your Mom sounds like she wanted you all to have a magical time!😊

[@dianeroome972]

Terrific. Very sweet folk art! And much easier than working with gingerbread...

[@jeanwhiley6571]

Your advent garland is so different, it’s coming along so nicely. As for the gingerbread village, such a lovely project to do with children, so achievable and the result is beautiful. Thank you Marion for sharing yet another craft project

[@jackywhitehead8987]

Thank you for the ice cream my grandsons and I made some! It took me longer to clean the kitchen than make the ice cream 😂 my 3year and 5year grandsons had such fun and they were so excuited that they were allowed to lick the spoons as it didn’t need to be cooked. Just loving your videos

[@marionsworld24]

Brilliant Jacky!

[@Vickiexploring]

I love your little village. A great idea from your sister, to completion with your crafty art.

[@Gillian-3]

That is delightful Marion! As you say it is amazing what you can create from cardboard and white paint! What a beautiful gingerbread town frontage.

[@lindaoudenhuijsen6765]

Hello Marion, what a lovely houses you made today. You are really inspiring ❤

[@jenniek4617]

It’s soooo lovely! It looks really effective with the lights behind it. You would pay a lot of money for something like that in a shop. Very atmospheric. ❤️

[@marionsworld24]

Well Jennie...you might if it wasn't cardboard! The ceramic ones my sister was looking at were in the hundreds of pounds. For a couple of weeks I think we can manage a cardboard version 😂

[@maureenlehman139]

What a wonderful project. I have so enjoyed your Advent

[@angelaholcroft4515]

Hi Marion. Another beautiful make, using something that a lot of people throw away. Thank-you for sharing a great idea. So pretty with the lights shining through. Xx

[@debbiequevedo682]

👍👍 I love what you did to make your gingerbread houses from cardboard!!!😅

[@brendadeveau8852]

You are so amazingly creative!!! It is so…… beautiful!!! Your videos always put a big smile on my face😁😁😁. Thank you🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@ritamckenna-cohen8075]

I love this project. It came out so pretty

[@familyschnabel6005]

This idea and beautiful work of yours is just MARVELOUS, Marion!!! We will totally be copying you over here in the US as it seems you've created the perfect craft project for the days before Christmas--thank you so very, very much!!!

[@carolreid9755]

Thank you Marion for another wonderful Vlogmas. I would say it is a resounding success and from something we throw into the recycle bin. ornaments are so expensive these days. It just goes to show that with some thought and a few bits and pieces a crafter can achieve anything.

[@craftdipper]

Eeeek!!! I didn't think it could get any more magical than your metal/jewels/greenery wreath.... But it HAS!!!! This is just gorgeous! Your mess is fabulous!!! The bigger the mess, the more fun has been had😂🎉 Thank you sooooo much, Marion❤

[@craftdipper]

PS Where is the Community page? I unofficially voted in a past comment for the book idea, but I don't have Facebook or Instagram. If the page is there, can you log my vote for me please, Marion? Thank you ❤

[@marionsworld24]

That's one way to look at it! I definitely had fun making it... A bit frustrating at times when I thought it was all going wrong though🤣

[@joanneurquhart8537]

Marion you have done it once again . The gingerbread houses turned out delightful. Clever lady ❤

[@lenorerhodes8110]

Gorgeous. ❤️🌺

[@moniquebexplorer8237]

I'm so impressed with how talented you are. But more so how much confidence you have in how to do what needs to be done to look like your vision. Thank you for sharing.

[@Krafty_Kaz]

Brilliant, I'll just go and rescue the cardboard I put in the recycling bin lol 😂xxx

[@marionsworld24]

:)

[@susanchesworth9705]

looks splendid Marion. If we weren't trying to clear out ready for moving early next year I would give this a go. I must put it on the list for next year

[@Loriann3616]

I’m absolutely going to make one for myself. I love your creativity ❤

[@marionsworld24]

Have fun!

[@barbarabeckman6722]

[@marionsworld24]

😅

[@jeanmansfield1138]

There's no end go your inventiveness Marion. Each day we get a Christmas treat thank you.

[@michellesocialbutterfly9517]

Just wonderful for a project. Looks great with the lights too. I love the drawings you picked for each house. Well done. Very Christmasy.

[@paulinedonnelly6077]

Another wonderful vid., This will be a craft for next year 🤗🤗🤗 Love your nails xx I was telling a friend of mine about Marion,& my husband piped in & said, " have I met her ? " (Oooooh if only I could) 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 🇦🇺😎 I can't get enough of Marion !!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@marionsworld24]

I absolutely know what you mean! Sometimes you wonder if they hear the same conversations....😂

[@glennissalls4734]

Well done. I do not know how any one can do things without making a mess. Lol

[@marionsworld24]

Very true... Your brain is engaged in the making... not the clearing up!

[@kb9847]

What a fabulous idea!! It’s so charming. I may try and see if I can make one as cute as yours. See you tomorrow. 👋🏽 🏠

[@linaanderson2622]

Another triumph Marion, your best day yet. It is so adorable, and I love to see your mess even that looks creative. You could make those to sell ❤

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks Lina.. :)

[@degangemimi2215]

Wonderful!!!!!

[@nancydeibert2513]

wow, that is so pretty

[@janealexander3318]

The gingerbread houses were wonderful. They look so effective 😊

[@oermama]

Hello Marion, love the gingerbread houses ☺️ and I’m glad to see your working bench looks messy too when you’re at it. ❤

[@marionsworld24]

That's a happy crafter for you.... No time to be clearing up when you're in the flow of crafting!☺️

[@yvonnelilley429]

Inspired !! Looks brilliant, I’m well impressed 😊 My granddaughter and I made piñatas recently from cardboard boxes, great fun! I would have added a pic but I don’t know how 😂. xx

[@susandeveaux4117]

How sweet !!! I love your Christmas village !!!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@rebeccal786]

Absolutely incredible. Love it. Thanks for showing us how to do this.

[@Vanessa-mz1cs]

😍 It's amazing!!! Love it 😊🦘

[@evajames2332]

Lovely craft.x

[@gailgaddy5340]

Cute row houses, and I enjoyed the video.

[@janemarchant2558]

What an imagination you have Marion, lovely xxx

[@Angela-en6oh]

Hello Marion. Well, that little terrace of houses is just a treat to the eye and a delight for the season. Thank you for sharing your skill with us.

[@terribradburn6685]

A lovely little village! Put a snow blanket under it and it will diffuse the light from underneath the houses to be less apparent.

[@marionsworld24]

I'll definitely dress the mantelpiece properly with something underneath. ☺️ I just couldn't wait to get it all onto film though...💐

[@janetparker2722]

Marion you are so inventive 😊 That's adorable. I look forward to your advent video every day👍

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks Janet

[@mswetra2610]

Just lovely Marion. When i was little our main decoration was a cardboard village. Your village brought back fond memories. Thank you and Happy Holidays 🎄

[@marionsworld24]

I'm so happy it brought back good memories for you... Thank you for telling me 💐

[@samanthal562]

Absolutely love your gingerbread street, looks fabulous Marion. Lots of love and thank you for the inspiration xx

[@suzielambert2886]

[@christinep9069]

I did wonder where you were going with this Marion, it's fabulous I love it!❤

[@J2u-j4j]

you are so clever it is wonderful well done

[@ConniePloch]

What a cute little village! Way easier than baking and frosting. 😊

[@marionsworld24]

I like to do that too! Because of course you get to eat the real thing!

[@joyofthings]

I love these crafts not to expensive so everyone can have a go.xx🐝🐝☃️

[@marionsworld24]

Thank you. That was the point really. Not everyone can just go out and buy the pretty things. But it is possible to make something and be happy you've done it too!

[@marythompson9952]

This is my new favorite KZbin channel!

[@marionsworld24]

Thank you so much for saying so 💐😊

[@barbaranielsen2888]

You are so clever! It is darling!

[@elizabethsawyer5906]

A definite success! Well done👏💕

[@marjanwolfs6273]

This is a lovely idea when you have children. I take care of 2 boys when their parents are working, but now they are to old. I started 9 years ago as a guestparent, that is how they call it here. When the boys were young they liked to do some craft, but now they play football or a kind of game.Your houses are looking so much better then I first thought. they would be. It is just cardboard and paint but all together, with the lights it is looking really good. You have many ideas and everybody can try to make them.

[@marionsworld24]

I thought they weren't going to plan either. But all of a sudden, they just seemed to work. They do look nice on the mantelpiece... :) I've never heard of someone being a guest parent. Sounds interesting Marjan

[@marjanwolfs6273]

Guest parent is a kind of childcare. Parents can bring the children to a creche or childcare but also to somebody at their home. Or ask somebody to come to their own house, as I did. Its what grandparents usely do for their grandchildren. But I'am not family and I get paid. You need special education to be a guestparent, about the same as working in a childcare or creche. Now I"am not a profesionel guestparent anymore. I'am just in their house in case something happens. But I take care for their dog too.
