Fun and easy project to do during the holidays to add a little personal touch to your decorating. Who wouldn’t want a Christmas nutcracker that looked just like their pup? This craft is super easy, but the tricky part is finding the nutcracker that has the same shape face as your dog. Luckily my Aussie’s features resemble lots of breeds of dogs, but their markings are what make them uniquely Aussies. Target carries a basic yellow dog nutcracker with a long nose and big ears. These basic dog nutcrackers seem to be sold every year for around $10 – $15 each, all you need is a little paint, a steady hand and the perfect pup model to create a unique gift or a special decoration for yourself. Below is how I made mine. Hope you enjoy this little tutorial and make yourself something that holds a lot of sweet memories.
