    6 screws
    Cardboard scraps for teeth and shoulder pads
    Duck tape
    Sheets of paper to stuff shoulder pads
    Thick glue for decoupage
    Spare belt buckle (optional)
    Instructions:
    1. Prime the cement tube and let dry
    2. Measure 10 in. from the top of the tube to mark where the top of the head will be. Repeat process until you have drawn a circle all the way around the tube. The top will be where the crown will sit
    3. Measure 20 in. down from the top of the tube to mark where the bottom of the head will be. Repeat until you have formed a circle around the tube
    4. Place two of your 2ft 4in. PVC pipes onto the 12in. wood round
    5. Wood glue your one 1 ft. wood plank into the center of the circle
    6. Place two leg PVC pipes onto the 18 in. round.
    7. Wood glue the two 1 inch wood planks and to the center of the circles
    8. Using your hot glue/staple gun, cover one leg with the black velvet. Repeat this step for the second leg.
    9. Hot glue the trim down the side of the leg where the velvet made a seam. Repeat this process for the second leg
    10. Using the same process in number 8 above, use your red velvet to cover the two PVC pipes for your Nutcracker’s arms
    11. Glue trim around one end of the arm, creating the cuff on the sleeve
    12. Using one of your PVC pipes as a guide, place it on a piece of cardboard and trace two circles to make the shape for your Nutcracker’s shoulder pads
    13. Ball up a couple sheets of paper and duck tape them to one side of each circle
    14. Cut two small pieces of black velvet to cover each of the taped, padded circles. Hot glue or staple the fabric to the circles
    15. Hot glue fringe around each shoulder pad
    16. Place the 12 inch round into the bottom of nutcracker and screw it into place
    17. Paint the nutcracker’s face. You may also chose to just paint on the skin but leave the face painting until you come to number 22 below
    18. Paint the Jenga block (nose)
    19. Paint the two large ornaments the same skin color. They will become the hands
    20. Measure your nutcracker from its “chin” (the circle you drew at the 20inch mark) to the end of the tube. Cut your red velvet to fit this lower half. This will become the nutcracker’s coat 21. With the velvet side facing down on that 20inch line, hot glue or staple it to that line. Once fastened all the way around, flip the fabric down so that the velvet part is now right side up and is covering the lower half (body) of the tube
    22. Paint the face/finish adding all of the face details
    23. Gauge where you will like for arms to sit. Drill a hole into the arm and add a screw to the Nutcracker so that the arm can be attached and detached
    24. Hot glue/staple the hair in place using the 10 inch line as your guide
    25. Starting at the 20inch line, measure down 14 inches. This will be where the beard will stop. Cut a piece of fur 6inx9in. Put it aside.
    26. Find a nutcracker mouth picture online and print it out. Separate the mouth and glue the top half to the Nutcracker.
    27. Trim and glue the beard to fit the lower half of the mouth
    28. Hot glue the mouth in place on top of the beard. Decoupage the mouth
    29. Cut your red foam paper to your desired tapered shape and hot glue it to the front of the coat. This will become the undercoat
    30. Create the belt and glue it in place over the red foam
    31. Hot glue trim to the coat
    32. Hot glue the large ornaments to the arms
    33. Hot glue buttons to the sleeve cuff
    34. Measure from the side of the mouth to the hairline/shoulder pad and design the collar. Cut it out of the black velvet and hot glue it into place

    Muy lindo tu muñeco, pero no me gustó lo de la corona, porque el cascanues tiene gorra

    • @meckaelasellars
      @meckaelasellars  8 месяцев назад

      Sí lo no es el común ja ja. Es un poco diferente. You usé otro cascanuece para un guía 🤷🏽‍♀️☺️. La próxima vez voy a hacer una gorra y no corona ☺️❤️.
