Gumdrops, candy canes, and frosting, oh my! But don’t worry about sticky fingers-this workshop is all about creating gingerbread houses out of paper. Join us at the library as we fold, cut, and decorate whimsical paper cottages that look good enough to eat. With colorful cardstock, “candy” embellishments, and plenty of sparkle, you’ll design a sweet little holiday home to display or gift.

Perfect for families, friends, and anyone who loves holiday crafting. No baking required, just imagination and a sprinkle of festive fun!
