Any suggestions on how to make home look like a gingerbread house?

I want to make my house look like a gingerbread house for Christmas, but I am in search of ideas that are weather resistant. I thought about using round styrofoam to make peppermints, and buying lit candy canes, but after that, I am stumped. I am not very creative :) If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

    There is a little house near me and every year they decorate their house and it looks like a little gingerbread house...TOO CUTE!

    What they do:

    They put lights on their entire house -

    They outline the roof in one color

    The house is outlined in a different color

    The windows are outlined in another color

    The front door is outlined in yet another color

    They have the light up candy canes lining their sidewalk and driveway and two little light up gingerbread men standing in their front yard.

    Their decorations are nothing bizarre or fantastic but every year they are on the news and everyone drives by their quaint little gingerbread house. It's wholesome and so cute!

    Good Luck to you...remember sometimes less is more. You don't want to get too over the top or your look won't come across the way you expect it to.

    Merry Christmas!! You're the first one I've said that too : )

    inspite of what Richmond has stated, i do not locate his Elvis effect to be that solid. that is purely more effective than mine. As for his Elvis infestation or to grant it that is genuine call 'Rex Masturbari Furorem' it really is a warm mattress of discussion on the workplace social communicate board. in my opinion, i imagine it has something do with him hiding contained in the rest room crying out "Mr Reynholm, Mr Reynholm - Why hast thou forsaken me!" even as banging on the rest room door to what appears like the drumming from Wipeout by The Surfaris. yet I digress. the answer for your issue is ordinary. flow to the community toy save and purchase some dolls clothing. If I bear in mind my Grimm's fairy thoughts, extremely 'Die Wichtelmänner', then leaving those for the Elves will cause them to gown up and go away. If it doesnt, then a minimum of they'll look a touch smarter.

    You can buy sheets (large sheets) of starfoam(thin or thick) at home depot, etc and spray paint them and attach them to the sides of the house and yes.. othe star foam things to put in what looks like marshmallows, etc etc.. but it is going to be somewhat expensive and a lot of work to tie everything in and attach everything
