Attaching to Gingerbread House
Permanent Option:
If you wish for the door to always remain in the same position on your gingerbread house, you can Hot glue, Fabric Glue, or sew(with the matching yarn or with thread) onto your gingerbread house.
Removable Option:
If you wish for the door to be able to be moved to a new position on your gingerbread house, then you can add magnets to be able to safely remove, and move, without worry of ruining the yarn on walls.
- Place your door on a sheet of plastic mesh to roughly cut a section big enough to cover your door. Hot glue the plastic mesh to the back of your door and let dry, after it is dry, cut the mesh so that it is not seen from the front view, but still provides support.
- Next Hot glue 1 Tack Pin to the top half of your door on the side with the plastic mesh. Let dry.
