Create a beautiful Nutcracker Party this holiday season for all the little ballerinas in your life. From adorable ballerina necklaces to a magical tour into the Land of Sweets, you'll love all the sweet ideas and easy DIYs this party has to offer.

The Christmas season isn't complete without the viewing of the classic ballet, The Nutcracker. If you can't make it to the ballet during all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, here is a way to bring The Nutcracker to you! Kids will love this sweet party and all the details that make it so magical.

The first thing I did to create the party was make a balloon garland out of red, pink, dark blue and light blue balloons. I then took apart a Nutcracker Garland and attached the pieces to the balloon garland using Glue Dots.

Each little guest received a Pink Tutu to wear during the party. I attached the tutus to the back of the chairs using Red Single Faced Satin Ribbon and placed these festive Mini Nutcracker Stockings on top of the tutus. The tutu and the mini stockings are both darling take home favors for the kids after the party is over.

The new Nutcracker Party Supplies make it so easy to put this party together. The Nutcracker Centerpieces lined the table and I scattered a few Yarn Pom-Poms in the color palette of the party across the table as well. DIY Unfinished Wood 3D Stand-Up Trees were painted in red, pink and blue Acrylic Paint and were placed next to the Nutcracker Centerpieces.
