Gingerbread House Cookie Cutters (three levels)

Let's get into the Christmas Spirit! We were a little bit tired of the pre-made gingerbread house design you can buy at the grocery store, so we designed our own one, and are happy to share them with you.

3D print the cookie cutters, and bring them home to your family/friends and spend some quality time with them. Bake, decorate and build this cute gingerbread house. Enjoy!

Instructions

3D Printing
3D print one copy of each STL file. Tip: Print all the cookie cutters for level 1 in one color, the level 2 cookie cutters in another color, and the level 3 cookie cutters in a third color. This will make it easier when baking.

Baking
* Bake 1 piece of "Level 1 - Wall with door.stl"
* Bake 4 pieces of "Level 1 - Wall with window.stl"
* Bake 5 pieces of "Level 1 - Supporting wall.stl"
* Bake 1 piece of "Level 1 - Roof.stl"
* Bake 5 pieces of "Level 2 - Wall with window.stl"
* Bake 5 pieces of "Level 2 - Supporting wall.stl"
* Bake 1 piece of "Level 2 - Roof.stl"
* Bake 4 pieces of "Level 3 - Wall with window.stl"

Decorating
If you want to decorate your gingerbread house, we recommed to do this now, before building it together. Use some icing and maybe some lollies. Tip! If you want, you can use gelatin sheets as windows.

Building

Glue the pieces together using melted sugar.

STEP 1: Build the first level. Start with 1 cookie made with "Level 1 - Wall with door.stl", and 4 cookies make with "Level 1 - Wall with window.stl". The gingerbread house is supposed to be a pentagon shape. Tip: Use the "Level 1 - Roof.stl" cookie cutter as a template when putting the walls together. See image below.

STEP 2: Add 5 cookies made with "Level 1 - Supporting wall.stl" in each corner. These supporting walls will hold up the roof. See image below.

STEP 3: Put 1 cookie made with "Level 1 - Roof.stl" on top as a roof. See image below.

STEP 4. Build the second level. Repeat the above steps (STEP 1– STEP 3), but use all the cookies you made with "Level 2" cookie cutters instead. Level 2 has no door, and therefore 5 walls with windows instead. See image below.

STEP 5. Build the third level. The third level consists of four walls only, and will therefore be shaped as a square instead of a pentagon. There's no roof and therefore no supporting walls needed.

STEP 6: Share your work with us! We would love to see your result! Upload an image of your finished work using hashtag #CT3D and tag @Creative_Tools. We're looking forward to see your version of this cute gingerbread house! Good luck!
