Great video tutorial. I’d like to add, when I did my Easter and Halloween decorations I used paper templates. So when you’re at Lowe’s getting the insulation board, also grab a length of the brown paper roll they have by the exit. Draw your design on the paper, cut it out and trace on as many decorations as you want to make.
Wonderful!!!! Thank you for making this video…..you explain everything so clearly I think this 72 year old woman can even make it!!!! My grandchildren will love it🎄
Monica, you are amazing. Thank you for this. It’s really simple, you can definitely try it! And if you do make it, would love to see the pictures. You can find me on Facebook at “Isaac Alexander DIY”
Honestly you are one of my favorite designer-builders on you tube, always excellent explaining everything in videos and best sound quality in videos.The nutcracker is one of my favorites, the most time consuming , but we'll worth it.
These are all very cute. Will have to convince the hubs that it's ok to use insulation board for more than insulation. I would paint a black dot in the center of the "eyes" prior to painting the white to add more interest to the eyes. I love your creative use of ornaments to decorate these. Thanks for sharing. Best to you.
Wow! Look at the Gingerbread family hehe, these look beautiful and I love how each one is different and unique. You gave each gingerbread it’s own special detail. When is your show on HGTV coming out?!
I absolutely love these!!! This is actually my theme for Christmas this year. The only thing I felt needed to be different is the eyes, I really don't care for the sold white. Maybe make black circles or ovals for the pupils of the eyes. I really don't know what but I think they would look better. I'm not trying to put yours down at all, they are great, just the white ones freak me out. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us and God bless you and your family this holiday season and the new year coming.
Hey Isaac!! Don't know how your channel came up as a recommendation but so glad it did!!! Wow!!! Absolutely love the Gingerbread men!! I just subscribed to your channel, I too live in Charlotte!! Got to show some love to a local!!! Can't wait to see your other videos!!! ❤️

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY Hey Isaac, you're very welcome!! I gotta say your very talented in your creations, absolutely love!!! I'm definitely going to connect with you on Facebook so I can see in real person!! Thank you so much for the response!!
I just moved to Charlotte earlier this year and of course whenever you move decorations from previous home just don’t work. I love all the candy canes, gingerbread & lollipop videos! Amazing how creative you are. Thank you for sharing.

HI Isaac, Great idea and how to. I Positioned the arms slightly down verses up and I was able to get a 6ft GB man that was pretty well proportioned. THx for sharing the knowledge. One suggestion for others I found make sure you make your cuts kinda on the fast side. If you try to go slow the blade will heat up and melt your line rather than cut the line.
I loved this!!! I made this last year for my company's Trunk or Treat event and our Halloween parade. It was a candy theme, and these worked perfect for kids to take pictures with!
I love them. When I tell wedding guests we are the house with the gingerbread men and 2 tall soldiers they will know. And my twin 3 year old grandchildren will love them.
Thank you for showing all your videos that I’ve been seeing they’re great ideas I want to start decorating the outside with stuff like this so far we’ve been buying the blowups which I don’t like I want something that it’s gonna last for a while and it’s not the same like all my neighbors😊
I absolutely love your projects!!! I definitely need to make this decoration this Christmas!!!! Thank you for take the time to share your amazing work. ❤
Going to try to find that foam board I checked online it's no longer available at the Lowe's in my area so I need to look around they came out very good thank you very much for the video
I can't wait til I get my workshop/storage building finished so I can do all my Halloween/Xmas DIY projects. This is my 1st project ...a gingerbread man army🤣🤣🤣
They look amazing gorgeous super cute I love them..thank you sharing ..you really explain everything really good..thank you ..have a beautiful day..🌲🤍🤍❤🤍🤍🤍👌👌🙏🙋♀️
positively adorable ! wish I could find the stuff to make one but pretty complicated and costly where I am (overseas ) snif ! guess could try and order some on line
You make everything you do look so easy. These came out looking Amazing! I am so tempted to try. Thinking the Gingerbread Man from Shrek "Gingy" would be cool. Missing leg and candy cane crutch lol.
Oh yes! That character would be such a great addition. I might make one with a bite taken out of it. I try to take the hard out or hard looking projects ☺️
I just bought a hot knife from Harbor Freight for 20.00 to cut styro foam so I gotta give these Gingerbread Men a try. Thanks for the outdoor xmas idea. The wife LOVES them.
These look great! I’m thinking of making various silhouettes from foam board. Was wondering how yours have held up after being out in the weather for multiple Christmas seasons?
You are simply Awesome very Creative I luv this . I will be doing this next year cause it's already week before Christmas . Thank you for posting this 🙏💖
Awesome! I love these gingerbread! These have to be my favorite! I love gingerbread to eat, decorate, and this would be an excellent math project for Geometry! I’m a math teacher, too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Great idea, I’ve been wanting to do something like this. I’d probably put some pvc on both legs though. Just so the wind doesn’t blow him to face different directions. I’ve had that problem with my lollipops and candy canes.
Thank you! I do NOT have a creative bone in my body but I think I can do this! You gave such simple easy to follow instructions. I'll let you know how it turns out!
Didn’t think he could be more adorable…then I saw @8:10, when he moves the cookies around, because he is paying attention to the tiniest details. 🥰 He’s probably the kind of guy who even notices when his partner gets a haircut.
Love these will have to give them a try, I do have one question... how weather resistant is the foam board. Will it stand up to several years of use out would plywood be a better choice for longevity? Thanks!
Sooo wonderful! I love your great projects and you make that gorgeous house of yours a justice by decorating it with many ornaments. I absolutely love your home and garden. And with all the diy projects you make it like a wonderland in there. So lucky :)

Tony, you always have the most awesome things to say. Thanks man, wish you could see it in person
more like unlucky, tough to compete with that setup.
You sound so peaceful and calming when you speak it’s actually so soothing ! God bless you!

Thank you bestie! You the best!
Amazing 🤩
I love the idea. I am considering doing it with plywood to make sure I get multiple years use / make sure the wind doesn't take it away.
Nice job.
You could also use the pool noodle as a life saver for the eyes. The customization possibilities are endless.
I bet people love your yard, and it’s so much better than store decorations!
Ha! You're gonna give that crazy lady over on Turtle Creek Lane's channel a run for her money. So fun and inventive! They are so cute!
Haha oh my!
This is the funniest comment ever 🤣
We have a neighborhood named Turtle Creek in my area ;-)

I love this idea!
Oh my these are awesome. Wanted to see the back also.
Hello Sweet Friend, You did an excellent job, thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much !
I love this video and your ideas. I question, though, using hot glue to attach rope. I think it should be something stronger for outdoor use.
Are you worried the wind will rip the styrofoam off the spray foam pvc? Or does the bond hold up?
Could probably add some baking soda to the paint mixture and have it look more textured like a gingerbread man or even like a concrete version
Such a great idea.. totally doing this now! I’ve got some foam left over from Halloween tombstone making! Great video man 👍
Do it! It’s super easy and looks amazing !
I need to see how you store all this great decor.
Haha I built 2 sheds for my decor and also have a storage unit
I can't wait til I get my workshop/storage building finished so I can do all my Halloween/Xmas DIY projects. This is my 1st project ...a gingerbread man army🤣🤣🤣
the coloured rope was Sucha good choice! im obsessed!! amazing!!
Indeed it was. You should see it in person

Hello! Amazing DIY! I have a question: does the insulation foam board hold up to the weather, does it lose it shape or get damaged by the rain?. TIA.
How easy and beautiful is that!!!! Loves it!!! I want to build more! 😍😍
Me too!
This is really great how step by step to make these . Very nice ~
Adorable project. Thx for the idea.
You could glue some string light on the outer sides of shapes.
On a separate note, you are a gorgeous man!
That’s a great tip, thanks for that. I appreciate the compliment as well
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY Any time :)

Very nice project, love the candy cane gingerbread man, but they all look so good together. thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words Cynthia
Didn’t think he could be more adorable…then I saw @8:10, when he moves the cookies around, because he is paying attention to the tiniest details. 🥰 He’s probably the kind of guy who even notices when his partner gets a haircut.
Attention to details is one of the many qualities that was instilled in me during my Army days. So yes, haha I notice the SMALLEST things
Simp
How does this hold up in snow and rain?
😊Yes
Fantastic, can not wait to try! Thank you for sharing!
No problem Margaret!
Thanks for the great idea 💛🙂 in next winter I want to try the ginger bread men's, merry Christmas ⛄🌲💕greets from Germany
WOW SOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL & FUN 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Love these will have to give them a try, I do have one question... how weather resistant is the foam board. Will it stand up to several years of use out would plywood be a better choice for longevity? Thanks!

You could also use these and the giant candy as decorations for a candy land bday party for children or even adults that loved candy land
Genius! I love you your UA-cam videos.
So creative! Love this!
Thank you Marcela
Do you need to seal the foam with a clear coat to protect from rain???
Glad I came across your video. I just finished my gingerbread man! Thanks again for the tutorial 🎄🎄

Thank you so much John I appreciate that
Your gingerbread men turned out really good.Love your videos.
Thank you April !
These are cute. I want to make them but it rains so much in Dec. they would get destroyed here. Rope lights around the edges would be cool too.
