Gingerbread Houses- No kits!!!

 This was the best gingerbread making party ever!  I pre-made the gingerbread houses this time and let them dry 24 hours prior to the decorating party.  It really helped. They were rock solid! I used a small whoppers christmas carton you buy at walmart on the Christmas isle, duncan hines white tub icing, and graham crackers.  It was perfect!  Cheaper than the kits for sure!I bought all kinds of candy.  I made homemade icing and put into the empty tie-dyed color bottles you can get at walmart. This was a huge hit at church with the kids!
