Add a window to each section, crafting it from yellow paper and using white accents to make the frames. If you desire, pull large cotton balls apart and glue them to the window ledges to create the appearance of frost. Use white paper to create snow accents where the brown 'house' meets the ground and, on either side of the house structure, place two candy-cane poles as accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow it's time to move to the roof. Cut seventeen large circles from assorted colors of construction paper or craft paper placing them in two rows (8 on top and 9 on bottom) to create a patterned roof. Outline the colorful circles with white paper cut into wavy strips (about 8 inches wide). Add a gingerbread to the door and a welcoming message (e.g. \"Welcome to Our Winter Wonderland\") and you will have created a festive door decoration for the Christmas season!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAre there ways to improve upon this decoration?

Encourage them to make various designs with the paint (i.e. large and small dots, squiggle lines, swirls, zig zags, etc.). For best results, have students use one color at a time. When finished with the color, demonstrate how to re-fold the paper along the crease, press firmly, and unfold to reveal the \"mirrored\" design.

To construct the border, use a black permanent marker to draw a curly line around the edge of the display, then staple or tape the bulbs on the \"string\".

Attach these to the center of your board - the triangle roof on top of the square house, and the rectangle chimney on either side of the triangle roof. From white craft paper, create windows and a door. Mrs. Wheeler rounded the tops, but you could also create regular square windows and rectangular door if that seems easier. Mount these cutouts onto dark brown craft paper, creating a \"wooden\" border, then use a brown marker to create the crisscross detailing on both windows and door. Position these cutouts on the house. From white bulletin board paper or crafting paper, create a \"snow\" border by cutting 3\" strips of paper and using scissors to scallop one edge. Fit these pieces around each side of the roof, under each window, and on top of the chimney. Finish off the gingerbread house by adding groupings of holly berries and leaves, winter mints (smaller versions of the crafts found \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/ideas\/1058\/have-a-sweet-christmas\/\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e), a large candy heart in the center of the house, and cotton ball \"chimney smoke\".

Cut a long strip of white bulletin board paper (about the width of a paper towel roll), rolling it up to look like a scroll. Secure the roll with a rubber band and leave the paper to sit overnight to get an authentic scroll \"curl\". Unravel the paper roll, leaving excess paper at both the top and bottom, and script the names of your students on the \"list\". Secure the list to the door. If the excess scroll does not want to stay in place, consider wrapping it around an empty paper towel roll - you'll get the curl at both the top and bottom, making it look like a long list of names, as well as the structure needed to keep the paper in place. 2) The Embellishments.

Santa can be created with simple construction paper shapes. You'll need: 1 medium peach oval for the head, 1 large red rectangle for the body\/coat, 1 large red circle cut in half for the collar, 1 medium red rectangle cut in half for the legs, 2 small red trapezoids for the sleeves, 1 small peach circle cut in half for the hands, and 8 mini ovals for the fingers (actual size will depend on the size of the hands). Here's a look at what your shape Santa will look like before adding the details. \u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-833\" title=\"Shape Santa\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Shape-Santa.jpg\" alt=\"Santa made from shapes\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003eCreate a Santa hat from red construction paper as well as two boots and a thin belt from black construction paper. The next step is to draw a face using markers or craft paint and add the cotton ball detailing. Places to add cotton balls: along the edge and at the tip of the Santa hat, around Santa's mouth creating a mustache and beard, at the edge of the sleeves, along the edge of Santa's coat, and along the hem of the pants. The last step is to add the list (and the finger ovals). 2) The List. Cut a long piece of white bulletin board paper. Script your students names down the page with black permanent marker and attach the list (along with Santa's fingers where they line up with his hands) on the board. 3) The Tree Skirt. Cut a large oval from red construction paper and mount it in the lower right corner of the bulletin board. 4) The Christmas Tree. Create the shape of a Christmas tree using brown bulletin board paper. Cut strips of tissue paper in assorted colors of green then tie a knot in the center of each strip so that it looks like a bow tie. Arrange these \"ties\" on the brown Christmas tree shape and attach it to the board (the tree should overlap the tree skirt so that only half of it can be seen). Add a brown construction paper trunk.\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-834\" title=\"Tissue Christmas Tree\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Tissue-Christmas-Tree-e1292951844907.jpg\" alt=\"Green Tissue Paper Christmas Tree\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e5) The Presents.

Cut skinny, uneven strips of brown construction paper or bulletin board paper, fitting them around a scrap of white bulletin board paper {or your computer printout of the sign text} to create the plaque. As a finishing touch, draw and cut \"X\" shapes from tan construction paper {using black marker to trace them} and place them at the intersection of each \"stick\" to make it look like they're roped together. 3) The Reindeer. Freehand the reindeer heads onto brown bulletin board paper {they look like large squash!}, adding circle eyes and noses. Again, we love how the original design has the middle reindeer, who is covering up the sign, looking \"innocently\" off to the side. Create the body of the middle reindeer - using the head to determine where the \"shoulders\" should be and then basically cutting out an \"X\" shape for the crossed legs.

We're assuming that Megan used a personal cutting machine to create the cute cutout. If you don't -have access to such a machine, here's how we would go about creating it. Cut a large teardrop shape from brown background paper to create the body. For the legs, cut four long strips of brown paper, attaching them to the body cutout and adding hooves - four trapezoids, with a small 'accent' triangle cut out of the bottom, cut from black construction paper. As for the head, we would suggest freehanding the shape onto brown bulletin board paper or finding a clip art image online to enlarge, trace onto paper, cut and assemble. {You can find a similar look with this cutesy reindeer sale poster template we found over at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.stocklayouts.com\/Templates\/Sale-Poster\/Reindeer-Snowflakes-Sale-Poster-Template-Design-XX1121301.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eStock Layouts\u003c\/a\u003e.} Use black construction paper to create the antlers, black and white construction paper for the eye detailing, and red construction paper to create the reindeer's nose.

Cut two long strips of brown bulletin board paper. We suggest measuring your door frame to figure out the length you'll need. {They'll need to be about a foot taller than the door frame, so measure the frame from floor to top and add a about 12-inches to your measurement.}  Attach the strips side by side (vertically), about a foot above the door frame, and allow them to drape all the way to the floor. Cut an arched hole in the center to expose the door and add visual interest by using your scissors to shape the outside edges of the paper as well. {Beth added a bit of a curve to the gingerbread house cutout.} Cut a long strip of pink bulletin board paper, using scissors to cut the strip of paper into a trapezoid and scallop the bottom edge. Attach the shape to the top of the gingerbread house to create the roof. Use craft paint or paper to add detailing as desired. To create the windows, cut arched window shapes from black bulletin board paper, tracing the same shape onto natural butcher paper in order to draw and cut window grids, and mirroring the roof by adding a similar pink trapezoid with scalloped bottom edge to create a decorative 'awning'. The last step in creating the gingerbread house is to cover the door with natural butcher paper and create the candy cane archway from white bulletin board paper. After the fact, there doesn't seem to be a super easy way to create the candy cane archway. We do recommend, however, when cutting the arched doorway from the brown paper, that you draw it on first and cut it out in one piece. That way, when it comes to creating the candy cane archway, you have a guide to work off of. You can trace the shape onto white bulletin board paper then use your judgement to create candy canes that will fit the size and shape of the door. Once drawn and cut, all you'll need to do is add stripes with red marker or craft paint!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe Gingerbread People\u003c\/em\u003e.

Finish the cutouts off with striped construction paper candy sticks and add the candies to the display! {We love how Beth created small candy cutouts and added them to the door along with the names of her students!}\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe Assorted Wintry Accents\u003c\/em\u003e.
