DIY GIANT GINGERBREAD HOUSE

[@TheRandyFan]

your neighbors will never out do you. this is amazing and soooo cute

[@yharm2606]

Love this!!

[@fpolende]

The attention to detail really makes it!

[@roygbivcreations5929]

So cool

[@randolphmoore1194]

You make it look easy! I am tempted to make a four and a half hour drive down to see it but then I would have to drive back home. The thing that makes you different is that you build your own props. Most of us are satisfied with simply putting lights on everything.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Next you y’all can come down and help :)

[@heathert.3697]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY how much wood and foam board did you buy for this project?

Thank you! ❤️

[@meliss1220]

You are freaking awesome. I have been watching your videos today, and I am amazed. I wish you were my neighbor 😆 I love building my own decorations, too. My daughter, who is 15 years old, helps me.

[@horses2by]

Wow fantastically awesome 🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@debbralehrman5957]

I like the hot knife it looks easy enough to use. Pool noodle s are a great idea.

[@keithcunningham4082]

AMAZING! looks so good! 😁👍🏾❤️

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thanh you, Keith!

[@aydinmert5731]

This would be such a cute pet house as well

[@zelva1961]

Great job!

[@aprilbennett6280]

This looks awesome

[@MakeupMobster]

I can’t believe you never built anything like that before! Amazing

[@jimmymacreator]

I'm doing this. Thanks for the inspiration and guidance sir

[@SuchaCaligrrl]

Wonder if I can make this but instead use industrial velcro to attack the walls and candies... something that would be easier to take apart for storage purposes.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Absolutely. I use Velcro for various of my projects so that disassembling is much easier. In hindsight, I should’ve used Velcro for this to make it easier to take apart

[@ethancohen9262]

your whole decoration setup is gorgeous omg

[@matthewdpob4704]

wowsa this is insane Isaac!

[@kevinfelle2095]

[@laurenamaya9681]

Very talented, it inspired me to try this on a little smaller scale for my little one. How where you able to do the snow falling down effect by the front door from the roof.?

[@mz.broughton9993]

Love it 💯

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you !

[@32fordcoupegirl]

I WANT ONE !!!!!!

[@BEECHARMER101]

You have some great ideas! You do amazing work. Question: how do you store all these props? My attic is already oretty full. Remove the foam siding but what did you do to the gingerbread framing after Christmas?

[@marcosgil1603]

Could you make a tutorial on how to make the candy canes? Thanks!

[@MariaGutierrez-si5ew]

So Beautiful 😍

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you Maria!

[@matthieudutil3255]

I guess xmas 2021 🤷🏼‍♂️ thanks!

[@inspirationalrelaxation6694]

I want to turn my house into a gingerbread house. How did you cut the Fascia/scalloped trim.

[@jalexanderevans]

Any way this could be collabsible for storage?

[@tylerwharton7499]

Looks good enough to to eat.

[@MakeupMobster]

Where do you guys store this in the off season? I want to make stuff like this but I already don’t have room. Houses Here on Long Island are small. Well not all houses but the ones I can afford lol! I’d need to rent a storage facility for stuff like that!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Storage has thankfully not been a problem for me. I have an “attic” over the garage that houses all the decorations for the inside of the house.
I have a walk in Crawlspace that provides me with a huge amount of storage space. I built a big shed in the back and am building a 2nd one now .

[@MakeupMobster]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY my husband and I have thought of building a second shed as well. We have a 1 and a half car garage and a loft up top where I store Halloween and Xmas. Also my basement stores some stuff.
Is there any way we can direct message you? I’m working on a DIY nutcracker (I plan on posting a video) and I’d like to know if you have used latex house paint on PVC and how it held up. I really hate spray paint! I am not good at it lol and would like to avoid it if I could.

[@brandonruk3920]

How do you take it apart to reuse the next year? Just unscrew it and store it?

[@monicaczestochowa459]

Me encanta tu canal 😍

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Mil gracias Monica!

[@raeganwilliams4666]

Did the foam boards come brown? Or did you paint them?

[@tro8191]

I’m lovin’ all your ideas bro! My mind works like yours... but my problem is I wanna do 5 million xmas projects starting in November and only get around to maybe 2... haha. Thanks for the great ideas!
Question- the paint color is perfect! What color/brand is it?

[@charlynnish]

How much wood and styrofoam board did you use?

[@rnguyen2516]

So adorable! How did you make the icicles/frosting?

[@sandrinedavard]

Hello, i'm french. How do you keep it stuck on the ground ? Thanck you ? Sandrine. Il love your content of all your videos. You are wonderful 👍🎅🤩

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much. On the inside I put blocks of stone to hold it down.

[@heathert.3697]

Issac, how much wood do you need to buy for frame. I’m going to attempt to make this with my kids. Could I use PVC pipes in place of the wood frame or would that not be as sturdy?

[@candyhall635]

What kind of lighting do you use. Around the Ginger house.

[@cynthiaturner9377]

I'm curious, where do you store all of this? Could the walls be made one at a time, then assembled so it could be taken apart for storage purposes? I would love it if you were my neighbor, I would volunteer to help you as long as we made 2, lol. Beautiful work!!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you Cynthia!
So yes, you can actually make it in sections so it’s easy to take apart and store. You could use Velcro instead of screws so it’s easy to take apart. The wood frame has to be nailed though but the walls can be Velcro or screwed. I wish I had more neighbors like you! We’d make 2 of them

[@marcosgil1603]

¿Podrías enseñarnos a hacer los bastones de caramelo? Son una maravilla ... 😍

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

En dos o tres semanas voy a subir el video porque lo estoy construyendo otra vez y voy a hacer un tutorial. 😃

[@marcosgil1603]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY oh! Que maravilla. Muchas gracias. Estoy loco por hacer unos bastones de caramelos así. ¡Muchas gracias!

[@AustinDerek]

Is this water proof or do you have a recommendation for making it water resistant/proof?

[@redniblees]

Do you have dimensions of it? Would love to try it like you did, but I’m afraid I’ll be off and it’ll look goofy.

[@moomoo1015]

Great job! What material did you use for the dripping frosting?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you! It’s insulation foam board, same material that I made the walls. I just cut it to that shape, painted it white and glued it

[@amherstauto8484]

How did you do the snow look off the roof?

[@rainaamber4421]

Do you keep at the end of the holiday or do you trash it? That’s a big thing to store.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I store all my creations. It breaks down into smaller pieces. Have big storage

[@justmebeingquirky]

How much would you charge to do this for someone else? This is awesome! Luckily I don't live far from Charlotte. Just don't like the traffic!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I’m glad you love it but unfortunately due to time constraints I don’t do custom orders for anybody

[@justmebeingquirky]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY awwthanks for replying. Wish you could though. You got skills to pay the bills! Lol. Keep up the good work!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

@@justmebeingquirky thank you so much 😊

[@gracepineda1743]

Q? How much was it to make?
Also with that material is it water 💧 proof.. rain or fog wet??

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

The price of it then is different now because of the changes in prices for materials..
It’s insulation foam board that’s used for the walls and exterior paint, it is weatherproof

[@natehancock1972]

Did you draw it out beforehand or just wing it?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I’m really bad at drawing anything out so I always wing everything. I can see the design in my head and as I’m building it I change or adapt the plans. I had a picture I found online that I used as inspiration

[@kandybish6260]

How did you do the front like frosting edges

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I used 1 inch insulation foam board. I drew out the shape I wanted then cut it to look like frosting. Then I painted it white

[@diggindeep100]

How did you make the giant candy canes

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I’m posting the tutorial in a few days 😃
