Here are some really neat gingerbread Christmas trees that are just iced on one side in each section. The A frame gingerbread house has a simple feel but looks really nice.

What a great way to upcycle a wooden pallet and have a great decoration for outside. The design is meant to be a bit rustic so this project is mistake friendly. After cutting the tree you will need three 2 x 4’s that are three feet in length and one that is three feet and four inches. Cut one of these in half. The 2 x 4 that has the end pointing to you in the last photo is where we will start and this is the longest board cut. Attach two smallest pieces to each side as shown. You then need to attach the two 2 x 4’s that are three feet in length going up. Then attack to the pallet. Have fun with the paint job – the options are limitless. Here we attached white lights with green cord across but you don’t have to have lights at all. The trunk could be painted brown if you like. Pretty durable and depending on the paining you do the design could fit into anyone’s home design.

I absolutely love the tree on this house. Made by making two gingerbread tree cookies and before baking cut in half, baked, and joined together with icing. I also like that the artist left the impressions natural to the design in the tree and house.
