For my project, I gave some Dollar Store nutcrackers a whimsical makeover!
Here is what they looked like before... not too cute... I've never been much of a nutcracker girl... they are just weird looking to me 😕
But I thought they could be cute... maybe... possibly...
So, I tore off their beards and hair and gave them each a couple of coats of paint. Now I have a nice base to start with!
They got new curly hair and beards! Looks kinda like my hair! 😂
Then they got some vintage rick-rack trim.
I thought it looked like they had socks on... so I gave them socks!!
With polka dots and pom-pom shoe bows!!
And new cute faces...
This little guy got a polka-dot hat with green rick-rack trim, red and white striped socks, and he is holding a little gold bell. I even put their teeth back in! 😜
I don't know about you, but I think they are SO much cuter now!
PIN ME!!
