    • Gingerbread Decorating

    Step Three

    Stitch around the neck, arms, and legs with white yarn. I chose to do straight lines around but zigzags would be cute to.

    Cut tiny black felt circles for eyes and red felt circles for cheeks.

    Step Four

    Glue the 3 buttons on the front of the gingerbread man

    Glue the eyes and cheeks on the face and stitch a mouth with white yarn
