Clay Pot Nutcracker Instructions

clay pot nutcracker 1

Glue the pots together as follows: first pot is upside down on your work surface. Then glue the next pot on top of the first bottom down (bottom to bottom).

The next pot is glued on top of the last pot, top to top. The next one is bottom to bottom and the last one top to top. Let dry completely before proceeding.

Seal the pots with the sealer and let dry.

Follow the photo of the completed ornament and paint the bottom two pots blue with a black band around the top of the second pot. This will be the pants and the belt.

The next pot upwards will be painted red with a gold band toward the upper end of the pot.

Then paint the next pot skin tone up just past the last band on the last pot.

Paint a black cap on the top pot.

Paint black shoes on the very bottom band.

Add the gold belt bucket and gold buttons.

Next paint a mouth with teeth showing.

Finally, add a mustache, nose and eyes to complete the face.

Put a thin coat of varnish on the entire piece.

Glue the tassel coming out of the hole on the top pot.

Can’t you almost hear the strains of the Nutcracker Suite as Clara’s wooden nutcracker turns into a live prince?
