Do you reckon you’re a Christmas lover? Think again – because you probably can’t match this woman 🏠 Carmen Croxall spent two weeks decorating her home in order to turn it into a giant gingerbread house. She admits the design is ‘next level’.
Around 70% of the house is made from recycled materials – the fake brickwork is made from water-resistant MDF and the chocolates are old milk cartons covered in cellophane.
Not stopping there, her lollipop sticks are made from wooden dowel offcuts and an old drainage pipe and the pink icing is fabric leftover from a previous project and ball pit balls.‘It all started in 2020 – I had an events company and had dressed events for eight years but, after nine months of not doing it, I had a huge void.‘I’d just sold my house and was due to move out too, so those three things led to my first crazy transformation.
‘My new landlord said I could decorate so I did my whole house for Halloween and last Christmas, I did a pink kitsch theme with a festive Tyrannosaurus Rex outside.’She spent ‘countless hours’ on the house over a period of two weeks – even with the help of friends, family and colleagues. Overall, the cost of the project came to hundreds of pounds – £300 was spent on velcro, £90 on wadding, and £40 on sheets of MDF.
