Table favour with Sweet Gingerbread bundle for today’s project – I simply couldn’t resist it! The size of the box was governed by the width of the Gingerbread house die which is 1 ¾” across. So to follow on, I chose the Height at 1 ½” (4 cm) and depth also at 1 ½” (4 cm).
I put Hershey nuggets in mine, but you can put confectionery of your choice. Three Hershy nuggest fit inside the box and I cut a strip of DSP 1″ x 3 ” (5 cm x 7.5 cm) from the Host reward Celebrate Everything pack to wrap each nugget.
Here’s a close up of the Gingerbread house. I used the Enamel Effects in Real Red for the berries, the heart pearls in the doorway, and the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds for the door knob.
