1. For each nutcracker, select five 4-inch planters, and wipe them clean. 2. Spray-paint one planter black and one planter beige. Use red, navy blue, and green for the remaining planters. Allow to dry. 3. Stack the planters as shown here. Secure them with a small amount of hot glue. Using utility scissors, cut a 7/16-inch round wooden dowel to 20 inches long. Thread the dowel through the planters' drainage holes. 4. With a pencil, sketch the nutcracker's face, buttons, and belt. Paint the features with hobby brushes (#262442). 5. Tie several pieces of jute twine (#66510) around the top of the dowel to create a tassel for the nutcracker's hat. |
