Christine McConnell is an artist that has a unique flair for decorating her parent’s home. For Christmas, she decided to transform their house into a full-sized Gingerbread house, with a few extra details
I’ve not seen in a holiday-themed home before. For example, she invited her nieces to pose as Hansel and Gretel, for a fairy-tale twist!
Christine did a similarly holiday-themed decoration on her parents home when she decorated it for Halloween and it was equally impressive.
To make the roof look like it was covered in icing sugar, Christine used nylon rope. “I made a nylon rope net to mimic an iced roof… Getting it on was tricky!”
Making the striped candy was the fun part.
“My nieces Chloe and Keira played Hansel and Gretel. They’re my favorite people.” Does that gingerbread man remind you of the one from Shrek?
Spotlights were set up to light up the candy house at night!
In the daylight, it’s just as fantastic! I love the frosted window panes!
