DIY Lifesize Nutcracker (An Easy & Fun Christmas Craft)

Hiiii!! I had a lot of craft materials left over from my previous projects and I decided to use them to make a giant nutcracker!!! I absolutely love how it came out and I hope you enjoy watching the video.
I can be a bit unconventional when it comes to crafting, I hate using big power tools so Im always trying to find a way around it...the only issue is...will it be sturdy enough with a hot glue gun and some foam board??? my two favorite things to use when Im creating...hmmm Idk...see the comments for an update!!
Create your very own lifesize nutcracker in just a few simple steps! This DIY project is perfect for kids or adults, and it's a great way to decorate your home for the holidays. Make sure to watch the video tutorial to see how easy it is to create this amazing piece of art!
This Giant Nutcracker is a great way to add some excitement to your party and is a perfect way to show off your crafting skills. The finished product looks amazing and will definitely impress your guests. If you're looking for a unique gift for someone special, this is the project for you!

Update: Hello everyone, I recommend using wood instead of the foam board circle and floralfom pegs to hold the legs in place, the poor little nutcracker didn't last long standing up and faceplanted, the nutcracker survived and lives on to tell his story. I just want to thank everyone for watching, I appreciate it soo much!!🤎

[@belindal.rankins9490]

Can you make one to sell?

[@coachgladyscruz343]

Please link the items I need. Example..the size of the pvc pipes etc

[@WendyZ.]

Is there a chance that you would be willing to trace the face that you created and share it with those of us who are not so artistic? I love it!

[@KeepitKraftywithK]

Unfortunately, Mr. Nutcracker is in storage until christmas but maybe you could try to screenshot the face and then print it out!🤗

[@KathyBritten]

What was the height of the hat and face

[@KeepitKraftywithK]

The hat was 12in and the face was 8in!🤗

[@lfb0]

Wow! This is amazing and you made it look so simple. Are you an artist? I hope there is a video of the castle because I’m going to go look for it when this video is over. You did an fantastic job putting this together, but I thought you were going to make a female since you chose pink. Girl, you are so wrong for dressing this male nutcracker in a pink outfit with fuzzy boots and pearl and diamond accents (smh)

[@KeepitKraftywithK]

Awww, thank you soo much!! And no, I'm not an artist just a girl that loves art!! This nutcracker was actually a gift for my mom and she was doing a pink themed christmas!! Also, men can wear pink too lol!!🤗 thank you for watching!!

[@lfb0]

I didn’t find the castle. Did I miss it or did you not make a video?
