Do you remember ages ago when I said I was looking for “the perfect gingerbread man” and that I’d found him in an IKEA children's baking set, but it cost about £7.99 and I didn’t really want the rest of the paraphernalia?
Well, they say ‘It comes to him what waits’ well I waited, and look what I found in Poundland today – for a pound (it should have been £5 originally)!
And the added bonus is the cute little castle! I’ll admit that the gingerbread man could be a little plumper to be absolutely perfect, but he has rounded arms and legs which is the main thing I was looking for. It also came with a donkey and ogres head cutter too plus a recipe/scrapbook.
I want to cut the man out in brown fimo for card embellishments and (hopefully) key rings. I may cut the castle out in pink fimo and embellish with jewels. I will get back to you when I have completed my mission …… but RESULT!
I wonder if you could make him fatter by pulling his 2 sides outwards a bit. Di.x
