Personalized Gingerbread Man for the Christmas Tree

For this activity, you will need:

- a printable gingerbread template

- air-drying modeling clay in terracotta color

- a rolling pin

- modeling accessories

- 2 adhesive wiggle eyes Ø 10 mm

- 1 white 3D paint pen

- a stamp roller with letters

- golden cord

- a protective mat

- a pair of scissors

Print the gingerbread man template by clicking HERE, then carefully cut out the silhouette.

Roll out a ball of terracotta modeling dough to approximately 20 x 15 cm and 5 mm thickness using a roller, on a protective mat.

Note: With 1 kg of dough, make approximately 10 figures.

Place the paper template on the rolled-out dough.
Trace and then cut out the shape of the figure using a modeling tool.

Drill a small hole at the top of the character's head using a pointed tool.

Place the letters on the stamping ruler to form the desired first name or word.

Note: You can personalize these balls with names up to 8 letters long.

Stamp the first name onto the dough by pressing regularly.

Tip: Do a test on a piece of dough to check the orientation of the letters.

Use the white 3D paint pen to draw decorations: zigzags, buttons, smiley faces, etc.

Glue 2 adhesive wiggle eyes Ø 10 mm onto the face.

Cut a piece of gold cord, thread it through the hole, and tie a knot to enable hanging.

Let the figure dry until the next day before hanging it up or giving it as a gift.
