Gingerbread birdhouse ornaments

A miniature version of the classic gingerbread house, built small enough to hang on the tree instead of sitting on the table.

You'll need

• Small gingerbread cookie pieces (baked flat, cut to fit a tiny house shape)
• Royal icing
• Mini pretzel sticks, for the perch
• Small candies for trim; ribbon for hanging

How to make them

1. Bake gingerbread pieces flat and let them cool completely before assembly.
2. Use royal icing as glue to join the walls and roof into a small house shape, holding each seam until set.
3. Pipe icing "snow" along the roofline and decorate with small candies.
4. Add a pretzel-stick perch, then thread ribbon through the peak for hanging.
