Instructions

Watch the video tutorial before you begin. Let that be your visual guide for this project.

Option 1 (Brown & White Gingerbread Houses):

1. Prime the gingerbread houses. Take the gingerbread houses outside (for the best ventilation) and give each a nice coat of primer spray paint. It doesn't have to be perfect coverage, but enough to give your paint something to stick to.
2. Paint the prepared houses. Use a pouncing motion to avoid brush strokes and be prepared to paint at least 2 coats.
3. Add details to the houses. Using a quarter-inch flat paintbrush, add a white trim to the windows (this will take some time).
4. Add additional details. Use your fine-point paintbrush to add additional elements like door knobs, wreaths on the door, icicles, checkered patterns on windows, or snowcaps on the roof.

Option 2 (Green & Gold Houses):

1. Spray gingerbread houses. Using the hunt club green Rustoleum spray paint, apply a coat to the gingerbread houses. Be sure to get complete coverage, allowing the paint to dry between coats.
2. Add details with gold paint. Similar to the brown and white houses, add finishing touches using the gold paint and the quarter-inch flat brush. Embellish various architectural details and vary how heaving you apply the paint to create visual interest.
