To make your have established of Nutcracker Xmas tree decorations you will want:

  • Craft sticks – regular and little sized ones

To make the Sugar Plum Fairy

Begin out by painting on the hair, footwear, and leotard of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

If you do not have a pom pom maker, then you can wrap the wool all-around your fingers and make 1 that way. It is just less difficult to do it with a pom pom maker. After you have wound all your wool and minimize it, insert your peg into the center of the maker. That way when you wrap the last piece of wool around the middle of the pom pom to secure it all in position, it will be tied to the peg doll. Safe it all with a glue gun.

Alternatively, and a lot a lot easier, you could usually use cupcake wrappers to make the tutu.

Use a fantastic tipped pen to draw on the facial options.

Lay 5 usual sized craft sticks following to every other. Glue a different craft stick diagonally across them to hold them all in location.

Paint your hat.

Draw on your nutcrackers facial features and paint them in.

To make the nose, slash the close off the rounded end of a craft adhere. This may possibly acquire a handful of tries, as the sticks are susceptible to snap. Adhere it on to your nutcrackers encounter.
