Festive upcycled creations to add to holiday decorations.

Project – Giant Gingerbread Houses

In this project, we will be upcycling paper grocery bags to create festive giant gingerbread houses. Upcycling is when one creatively reuses (discarded objects or materials) to create something of higher value. Large paper grocery bags are great gingerbread house materials because they are already brown like the base house to be decorated using your imagination!
