Gingerbread house template


Gingerbread House Template - A Printable Pattern

 

So your gingerbread house turns out perfectly and doesn’t end up crooked or lopsided, you can simply download our template as a PDF here! The gingerbread house template is designed for two gingerbread sheets, each measuring about 30x20 cm. That’s roughly the size of an A4 page. One is used as the base, and the other is for cutting out the individual parts. The gingerbread house template is easy to understand and completely free!

 

You can of course use the gingerbread house template for completely homemade gingerbread sheets, but it’s easier and faster if you order our “ready-made gingerbread sheets”! Our “gingerbread house template” and the finished “gingerbread sheet” are perfectly matched to each other!
