Materials:

• Paper mache gingerbread people 2 large, 2 medium, 
  1 small
  
• Ceramcoat paint, burnt umber, and ivory
  
• Scribbles dimensional paint in shiny red, white, green, blue, black, and yellow
  
• Small wiggle eyes (10 mm)
  
• Jute cord
  
• Spray Sealant
  
• Ultra fine glitter

1. Cut off the string on the top of the gingerbread people.
   
2. Mix the burnt umber and ivory Ceramcoat paint until a light gingerbread color is achieved. Paint both sides and edges of the gingerbread people. Allow to dry.
   
3. With the Scribbles paint, decorate the gingerbread figures by drawing on clothes. create some boys and some girls. Wherever there are no clothes, outline the edges with small white dashes then fill in between the white dashes with red dashes to create a candy cane look.
   
4. Draw mouths and noses with shiny black Scribbles. Glue wiggle eyes on all figures except the smallest. On the smallest, draw the eyes with black Scribbles. Allow to dry.
   
5. Decorate the backs of the gingerbread people the same as the front. Allow to dry completely.
   
6. Lay the gingerbread people flat and mark where the hands and feet touch. Using an awl, or a large yarn needle and a hammer, on a padded surface, punch holes through the gingerbread people at your marks. Tie the gingerbread people together loosely with the jute cord. Once you have tied the gingerbread people together at the hands and feet, test to see if they will stand in a zigzag shape. You may have to loosen or tighten the ties. Once the ties are adjusted, secure with hot glue.
   
7. Spray one side of the gingerbread people with sealant and immediately sprinkle with ultra fine glitter. Spray again to adhere the glitter. Allow to dry and repeat on the other side.
