Paint the base of the Wooden Nutcrackergold and the pants black with acrylic paint. Paint the face and arms with a light nude color. Set aside and let the paint dry.
Paint the top of the hat and arms with red acrylic paint. Then use a piece of washi tape to tape off the center of the nutcrackers uniform.
Paint the rest of the uniform red and set aside to let the paint dry completely.
Once the paint is dry remove the washi tape and then use blue paint to finish painting the uniform.
Use the Nutcracker Treat Boxes as inspiration and paint the face on your wooden nutcracker.
Add the final touches and embellishments with Self Adhesive Christmas Pearl Jewels and cotton ball hair.
Use red acrylic paint and paint the 5" square wood block.
