Cork Gingerbread Man Christmas Ornaments

My kids and I have already begun thinking Christmas. We started making Gingerbread Cookies. (Not the real kind).

I went to the craft store and bought a roll of cork. The kind that you would use to cover a door to make into a corkboard. I dug out the gingerbread cookie cutter and traced several gingerbread figures on the corks.

Then we glued the cork to cardboard (We used cereal box cardboard). We glued the gingerbread boy to the cardboard on the back so none of the cereal box advertisements were showing. We did this to strengthen the gingerbread boy. We put a hole at the top for a string.

Once the glue was dry, we used white puffy paint to embellish the cookie. We even personalized them with names.
