Cute Cork Gingerbread House

"This house has the look and texture of a real gingerbread house but is made using cork. That has the advantage that this house does not have to be baked and that it will last forever. White snow paint was used to resemble the icing that would be used for such a house and little acrylic embellishments were used to replace candies that would decorate it. To top it off, some glitter was used to give the decoration a little sparkle."
