Mr and Mrs Gingerbread

These cute cookie-shaped toys make lovely decorations for the kitchen at any time of year. You could make Mr and Mrs Gingerbread, as shown here, or make a whole family and decorate each one in a slightly different way by using a variety of ribbons and other embellishments. You could also make padded gingerbread hearts and stars from the same linen to match the gingerbread family.
