Materials to Make Gingerbread Puffy Paint
- 1/2 cup glue
- 1/2 cup shaving cream
- 1 Tablespoon brown paint
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- Gingerbread man template OR Gingerbread house template printed on cardstock
- Paintbrushes
- Buttons
- Additional craft scraps for decoration
Tip: you can adjust the quantities as you desire – more shaving cream results in a puffier, airier paint that might crumble slightly when touched after drying. More glue will be less puffy and shinier.
How to Make Gingerbread Puffy Paint
Combine the glue and shaving cream to your desired texture, and then add the paint and spices. Adjust as needed.
Paint the gingerbread house, gingerbread men or whatever you’re painting with generous strokes of the puffy paint. Don’t skimp on the paint to ensure you get that awesome texture.
Before the paint dries, add any additional details – like buttons, scrap ribbons, etc.
We used glue, shaving cream and a touch of vanilla to make the white puffy paint details on the gingerbread house.
Let dry for a few hours – since you want to paint the mixture on thick, it can take a while to dry.
