IKEA gingerbread furniture is too cute. Free download.

This may be IKEA’s most delicious range yet … GINGERBREAD furniture.

The Gingerbread Höme kit includes furniture-shaped cookie cutters and simple instructions, so you can furnish your gingerbread house with edible versions of iconic IKEA furniture.

Pieces include the STRANDMON wingback chair, the ever popular BILLY bookcase, LACK side table and three others to complete the set. You can’t furnish the whole house but it would be enough to create a yummy gingerbread scene.

Free gingerbread furniture templates

First, download the kit for free here and then print them out. In true IKEA fashion, they resemble regular IKEA assembly manuals with step-by-step illustrations. No Allen wrench required.

After printing, you will need to cut out the template of furniture pieces.

Outline the pieces on the dough and then cut them out

Then, comes the exciting part. Make a fresh batch of gingerbread dough. Lay the template on the dough and trace around them to cut out pieces of gingerbread.

Then bake, assemble, and decorate!

Assembling the pieces seems like a delicate job. The manual suggests either warm sugar or icing to “glue” the pieces together. It says, “When using sugar: melt some granulated sugar in a frying pan to make dipping the big gingerbread pieces easier. The sugar dries quickly, in a minute or two. This step is hot, so be careful!”

Sounds like a recipe for lots of deformed tables and chairs.

Nevertheless, at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how perfect the gingerbread home looks. It’s the sweet warmth and laughter that truly makes a house a home. Even a gingerbread one.

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.
