Now You Can Make Ikea’s Billy Bookcase Out of Gingerbread

Gingerbread Höme offers those classic Ikea instructions on a very tiny scale.

Apparently more than 110 million Billy Bookcases have been sold (one every 5 seconds, according to Ikea), and that number could get, um, tinier this Christmas?

With Gingerbread Höme, the company has released stencils and classic Ikea assembly instructions for a number of their iconic designs, including the Billy.

Given that I’ve moved my Malm bed twice and put it together three times since I bought it about a dozen years ago, I feel like I’ll be a master of the gingerbread version. Now can someone send me a decent gluten-free gingerbread recipe?
