Hi all!
My daughter has performed several roles in our local Nutcracker performances four years, so I’ve taken to getting her a nutcracker that matches her role. Of course, being me, I can’t stop there and have to customize each so it looks more like my daughter and her actual costume.
My end result first, cuz I’m impatient lol
I started with this nutcracker. I repainted her face and entire body, ripped off the wings, hair bun, and clothes and replaced them with a dress similar to my daughter’s costume. I added two types of doll hair and added a present since her role helped carry out some presents.
I have three more to do and will probably have another one to customize at the end of the year if she lands another role this year. Phew!
