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