Spoonflower Presents
The Gingerbread Houses
Design Challenge
Show us your whimsical take on a sugary confection design that could adorn holiday table linens, children’s apparel or even Christmas stockings.
Overview
We love the charming holiday tradition of decorating gingerbread houses, which originated in Germany in the 19th century. From Victorian-style architecture to log cabins, there’s a house style for every taste.
