Cub Scout Nutcracker Ornament

My son loves nutcrackers and when I found these little guys at the Dollar Store in packs of two I couldn't resist. 

When I got home I immediately pulled off the white hair and beard along with the glue.  It came off easily.  I then decided to take a before photo. 
Steps to make a cub scout
* Remove hair and beard
*Remove painted on mustache (I scratched it off with a screwdriver)
* touch up cheeks with craft paint
*Paint pants green *Paint shirt solid blue
*Paint patches, beads, hat logo, scarf
I am super excited to give these to my cub scouts for Christmas.  I hope they enjoy them as much as my son (and daughter)
 
Pin It!

DIY Doll Sled


Making a doll sled is super easy.  Take either a plastic plate or Frisbee, drill a total of four holes, two holes per side for rope/string to thread through for handles.  Can also drill a hole on the front and add a rope for a tow rope.  Fun for winter sledding.
