Love nutcracker themed holiday crafting? This Christmas craft focuses on holiday fun with the Nutcracker, Soldier, Rat King, Clara, and the Sugar Plum Fairy. It’s the season to get crafty with your die-cutting machine and deck out your space for Christmas! This year, I’m inspired by the Nutcracker and designed an easy stacked box trio that brings holiday cheer with minimal effort.
Holiday fun comes to life in this project with characters like the Nutcracker, Soldier, Rat King, Clara, and the Sugar Plum Fairy, each featured on different sides of the boxes. By designing five total characters, I arranged them across two box sets, though you could select just four for a single box set.
Creating this project with Nutcracker characters was such a joy! Clara and the Sugar Plum Fairy add plenty of charm, and the mischievous Rat King and steadfast Soldier bring playful energy to this holiday decor.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- Silhouette or Cricut Machine: Perfect for precision cutting
- 14-inch square boxes: Find them at any office supply store
- 12-inch vinyl in festive colors
- Boxing tape: Secures your boxes in place for the season
Why You’ll Love This Project:
This Nutcracker Stacked Box Trio is perfect for creating holiday decor that’s not only festive but also practical. Set it up for Christmas, then easily fold and store these boxes away after the season ends. It’s a quick, space-saving holiday decor solution!
