Run, run, as fast as you can… to a quiet corner with some string in your hand.
Let’s face it: the holidays are chaotic. Between the shopping, the baking, and the tangled lights, we could all use a moment to just breathe. Enter the Gingerbread Person Stringable, all the sweetness of the classic holiday treat, with zero sugar crash and 100% more relaxation.
Unlike the cookie version, this little friend won’t get stale. Designed to be stitched, unstitched, and reinvented year after year, this kit is the perfect way to slow down the holiday hustle and make something with your hands. Whether you want to add a handmade touch to your tree or keep the kids occupied while the actual cookies bake, this Gingerbread Person is ready to hang out.

Start Simple...
There’s really no wrong way to Stringable, but endless ways TO Stringable...
To get the hang of it start with something simple, like the star on the right, then let your imagination run wild!
A few tips & techniques
-
Up / Down pattern:
The basic Up/Down pattern. Simply thread up through one hole, down the next, and repeat. To double it up, just reverse it! Tip: Repeat patterns. For instance, in the above example, the Stringer always came up on the left of the first string, and down on the right.
-
Loop the edges:
A very simple technique, simply thread through a hole on the outer edge of your Stringable, loop around the edge, then thread through the next hole.
The top half in the photo above is a single loop, the bottom is a double loop.
-
Up / Down crossover:
For this one, run the string over multiple holes, then preform the Up/Down pattern while crossing over the first string.
The top is a single Up/Down, the bottom is a double Up/Down.
