We recently came across a brilliant DIY Youtube channel called 'Isaac Alexander DIY'. The channel is dedicated to 'do it yourself' projects that Isaac has dreamt up, brought to life and documented so that we can too. One of our favourites is this 5.5ft GIANT gingerbread man decoration. You can make as many variations of it as you like and decorate them as you wish as they look really effective stading in a couple or as a gingerbread man family.
I'll run through exactly what you need further down, but for now just watch this incredible DIY guide to see if it's something you'd like to do this Christmas.
