Craft: transforming traditional crafts

Lots of crafters do it because they want to replicate something they like, but can't afford, or enjoy spending the project time with family. I can see both cases in this instance. Your "bad rip off" is someone else's cheap family fun for an afternoon, so I don't hold a grudge against the creator.

Not to mention that sticking felt shapes to other pieces of felt is not, at its heart, a novel concept. I say lighten up.

Thanks for sharing Angie's tutorial. I think it'd be neat to somehow make the "walls" of the house separate, with perhaps velcro so that you can stick them together at the edges - as you would with an actual piece of gingerbread.

It's upsetting that this isn't an original concept - it's a bad rip-off of the original Twinkle Kids Felt Gingerbread House Kit on the Mahar Dry Goods site that was just featured in Parents magazine.
