You will need:
Scissors
Embroidery Thread
A needle
Buttons
Felt
Ribbon
And a teeny little puff of polyfil
First:
You need to cut out a gingerbread man shape.
You can trace a cookie cutter or make your
own shape. You can even make a gingerbread kitty or a gingerbread house
or a gingerbread owl or a gingerbread… you get the idea.

Second:
Decorate!

Third:
Sew him up!
Make sure you leave room to attach a little
ribbon and to fill him with a little bit of polyfil. You want him to look
well fed, not fat, so don’t overdo it!
