Unpainted wooden Christmas figure

Paint Your Own
Nutcracker.

Start with a bare wooden figure and a palette you love. Give the crown, uniform, and scepter your own colors, then display the piece you painted yourself.

Unpainted wooden nutcracker figure with a crown, scepter, and rectangular base

Bare wood gives you a blank starting point for your palette.

Crown and scepter give you distinct areas for accent colors.

Beveled wooden base rests flat on a shelf or tabletop.

01 · Choose your palette

Start with Wood.
Decide on Color.

Before · One natural wood tone

The crown, uniform, and boots all share the same bare-wood finish.

After planning · A palette for each part

Try your colors on scrap paper. Choose a main shade for the uniform and an accent for the crown or trim.

02 · Personalize the crown and face

A Crown
to Make Your Own.

Before · Blank face and bare crown

The rounded crown tips, crown band, and block nose give you the basic shapes to work with.

After painting · Details with character

Give the crown band a contrasting shade and use a fine brush to paint your own expression on the blank face.

03 · Color the uniform and scepter

Give the Scepter
Its Own Accent.

Before · Scepter and uniform in bare wood

The turned scepter top and slender shaft sit beside an unpainted uniform.

After painting · A contrast you can see

Paint the uniform in your main color and pick out the scepter top in an accent shade to bring its shape forward.

04 · Finish the smaller details

Big Color Areas.
Small Finishing Touches.

Before · The main colors are mapped out

You know the colors for the crown and uniform. The smaller details are still yours to decide.

After painting · A look that ties together

Use a fine brush for the small areas. Repeat one accent shade on the crown band, cuffs, or boots to carry your palette through the figure.

05 · A view from the side

Turn It Around.
Check the Profile.

From the side, you can see the layered crown, block-shaped nose, and slim wooden lever behind the figure. Look at the profile as you decide which colors to carry around the edges.

06 · A base for display

Squared Boots.
A Beveled Base.

Two squared boots stand on a beveled wooden base that rests flat on a shelf or tabletop. Leave the base in its natural wood tone or paint it to match your palette.

07 · Give it a holiday spot

From the Craft Table
to the Mantel.

Before · An open spot in your display

There is room on the mantel or shelf for a holiday piece in your colors.

After painting · A piece you finished yourself

Once the paint is dry, set the nutcracker beside your greenery or holiday decorations. The colors you chose become part of the display.
