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 remake cam lock holes?

I want to put a 78.5” wide PAX configuration in a 77” space for a kids room . My plan is to eliminate the drawer on the right unit, then cut the shelves and rails to be 1.5” narrower. My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way. I’m curious what other people are doing, either I haven’t seen this detail in past hacks or I haven’t been paying attention. ~ by Jenny *** Hi Jenny The best and tidiest method is to use the cut-off portion as a template to reproduce the same cam lock holes in the correct positions. The right sized drill bits and a Forstner bit should do the trick. A Forstner bit will drill a flat-bottomed hole (...
