Gingerbread men

First up is what very well may be the worlds ugliest gingerbread man.
I made a the smaller version below and decided to make a bigger one. At the time the ribbon seemed like such a good idea. Maybe it was being sleep deprived and sewing well past midnight that lead me to make the choices that I did. Oh the pic is far too kind. This doll has received so much attention that I think he'll be front and center in an up coming "white elephant" gift exchange. I'm sure he'll be lovingly passed around at this type of exchange for years to come and he's sure to bring much laughter to the party. Keep a watchful eye out you never know when this guy will end up being yours (at least until the next exchange).
This is the smaller version. My mother in law loves gingerbread men and while out shopping I found many that were priced between $9.99 and$24.99. You fellow craft people know exactly what I thought ~ I can make that.
I've completed three of the little ones so far and I'm sure they'll be well received.

Here is a pic of two of the little gingerbread dolls.
The pic with the third one in in didn't turn out.
I used items and material that I already had on hand to make these.
4 dolls total cost $0
