Good afternoon, friends! Here is the second addition to my Christmas in July project!
A Nutcracker!
I wasn't sure how successfully I would be able to pull this one off, but, you guys, I'm so happy with how well he turned out!
Once again, I used the special clean edge color change technique that I used on my
Santa Claus pattern and I love what a difference it makes! (I promise, a YouTube channel is coming soon!)
His hair was super fun as well! I took a fine-toothed comb (I used a rat tail comb like this one
HERE) and brushed each section out until it was nice and fluffy. It took a lot of time, but was totally worth it!
I've always loved nutcrackers and the Nutcracker Ballet! I only saw the ballet once when I was a little girl. Fingers crossed I see it again soon!
Now that I've made the Nutcracker, can you think of who else I might be making?
Stay tuned! Also, this little guy's pattern will be out in about three weeks!
