I am BLOWN AWAY! Your nutcracker looks SO SO GOOD! I may have to recreate your tutorial (with my own twist). So smart to make it easy to break down and store away too! I can't wait to see what name he or she gets. Merry Christmas in July! 🎄
Thank you Shannon! Thank you for including me in this collaboration! 🎄
No lol lol lo I’m N kkk
I think Frosty is a good name idk 🤷♂️ looks like pink delish frosting 🧁
Best idea I’ve seen in a couple of years. I’m doing this! Thx Sara 🥰
@@ChicOnTheCheap love this even went by dollar tree today and bought some pool noodles today so I can do it in the winter since they don't sell pool noodles all year
Super cute! His name should be Sir Phillipe On The Cheap💂🏻🎄❄️⛄️🎅🏻🤶🏻🎁
I am beyond obsessed with this, I have never seen something so amazing!! I want to make two of these for my house! I think this could even be used in place of a Christmas tree for small spaces. I love it so much!
Thank You SO Much for participating in "Christmas in July"! There are so many crafting channels available that it's impossible to sort through all of them, so it was a BRILLIANT idea for you guys to collaborate like this. I just *LOVE* your channel!
Same!!! This is fantastic.
My fiance is an Army vet who has an obsession with nutcrackers. I've gotten him one for every Christmas we've been together, but we're getting ready to buy a house and I ABSOLUTELY have to make one for our new front porch! I've resisted watching this because I'm not ready for Christmas (we prob won't be in our house by then anyway) but I can't wait to build this for him!
Wow! I have always dreamed of getting my Dad a life size nutcracker as he has 100’s of nutcrackers but we have never been able to afford a life size one but you have just made it possible bc we can make one. Such a phenomenal job!!
Omg!!!! This is Amazing!! I ❤️ it!!!
Name: Sir Pinkalot!!!
@@neldagarcia9328 I love Sir Pinkalot, awesome name, fits perfectly! I love it!❤️
Now I definitely want to do this. What was the final cost?
As for the name.. Lord Pinkerton 🤣
I don't even know what to say. That was the best thing I have ever seen. I am rewatching a few times because I couldn't believe how easy that was.
WOW!!!! IM ABSOLUTELY SPEECHLESS!!!!! GORGEOUS!!!! His name should be Sébastien 💜💜💜💜
This is amazing! Tip for those trying this-those wood rounds are way cheaper at Home Depot or Lowes!
@Tony Adler ~ I was wondering if that might be the case.🤔 Thank you for the info!
Gorgeous. He looks like a Lord Pinkerton to me lol
Sara Jane - One Word . . . BRILLIANT!!!!! Thanks for sharing! You should be SO proud!!!!
I'm in the process of getting my supply list together for 4 nutcrackers. I shared this wonderful tutorial with my 47 yr old daughter, my 28 yr old granddaughter, and my sister. We are all excited to make our own together in my sister's basement. My daughter, Maria, bought me a beautiful solid wood 6 ft nutcracker several yrs ago, and I named him Mario. Now the one I'm going to make will be painted a very pretty light blue with silver accents to match my Xmas decor on my living room tree. I love Nutcrackers and have a lot in various sizes. Thank you for sharing with us❤
Holy moly! That is an amazing nutcracker DIY!!!! The would look so good by a front door! I may need to try one myself! Loved being a part of the Christmas in July collab! So many great ideas!🎄😁
Thanks so much Yami!
AMAZING Sara Jane! You knocked this out of the park and the fact that you can break it down and store it is an added bonus! Great job, girl!
P.S. I think his name should be Spencer 😆
Thank you Courtney! Love that name 😉
This is taking crafting to a whole new level. I love this!
Love seeing you create “Nigel”. Thank you 🙏
Sarah Jane! Girl, I'm speechless! This is beautiful! I love love love that you made his outfit pink and gold. Seriously you outdid yourself 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Steph!
Sara. Sorry for misspelling
Omg!!! Girl, you've outdone Christmas in July.....WOW!!! I can't wait to recreate this Nutcracker this winter!! Omg my grandbabies are gonna be blown away, just like I was 🥰🥰
I am thinking this fine fellow should be called Sir Jingle.
Love him!
Are you KIDDING ME!!! 🥰 That is gorgeous Sarah Jane, just incredible!!! 🥰 I’ve never seen a DIY THAT on point!
For his name ….. Archie!
After all little Archie is technically 7th in line for the Crown! I think Archie would be a great name for him!
If anyone makes this and sends you pictures, I hope you’ll add them to a current video!!
For years I have watched videos on how to make life size nutcrackers and this was by far the best video in terms of clarity, simplicity and cost. Bravo, excellent job and much appreciated.
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen for a DIY life-size nutcracker! Thank you so much for being so detailed and thinking of those of us without power tools. We will definitely be using this for our holiday decor.
Agreed
This is BY FAR my favorite thing you’ve created! I’m obsessed!! 😍
Oh my goodness, I just watched your video and I’m still sitting here in awe. Let me just say, you did that. I love, love, love your nutcracker. You are amazing. ❤️
It's not Christmas without nutcrackers!! I love them, your creation is absolutely gorgeous!!
Favorite DIY I’ve seen yet- and you’ve had a LONG list of projects I’ve loved. Super impressed and I love the fun color choices.
Wow, that nutcracker is flippen amazing! Holy cow! I am blown away!
You are so creative. Thanks for all your vision 💖
This is amazing! Putting it on my Christmas decor “MUST make” list!!
Saw this on pinterest and a blog, but certainly appreciate it being created! Thank you, can't wait for Christmas
Miss Nutcracker. Absolutely genius idea! Thank you for sharing.
All I can say is WOW!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Could your project get anymore amazing?!!! You did such a great job. I couldn’t even imagine now easy and perfect your nutcracker came out. Hats off to you!!! Thanks for sharing.
I love it!!!! I’ve been wanting to make my own Nutcrackers for a few years now and you’ve shown me an easier way to do it! I will start collecting my supplies now! Thank you so much!
Absolutely love him. So easy peasy. Thank you for sharing
I am stunned by the result!
OMG!!! This is the most incredible DIY EVER. Amazing job Sara Jane. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This DIY nutcracker is AMAZING!!!! I've always wanted one of those giant nutcrackers but couldn't see myself paying those high prices . Thanks for making the instructions easy to follow. Can't wait to try it! I love these Christmas in July videos!!
Love your nutcracker. I suggest naming him "Captain Creme de la Creme!" I would worry about the top half being easily knocked off the base, so maybe add 4 more wood blocks glued to the top of the middle section at 12:00, 3:00, 6:00 & 9:00 to slide the body over to secure it from being knocked off.
Repeating what so many others said...AMAZING!!! Love your nutcracker!
Wow! Your nutcracker looks amazing and even better there was no power tools. Girl, you out did yourself with this DIY. 😍❤👏👏 Thanks Sara Jane!
Wow! This is amazing! It looks marvelous! Thanks for sharing!

This is so adorable and while it is awesome for Christmas…I was also thinking the design could be modified for Halloween. I have always wanted a nutcracker vampire or witch or both 🧙🏼♀️🧛🏼🖤
That’s a great idea!
So smart! Instant Frankenstein's monster with just a very few modifications.

"Most Epic DIY Ever" is such an understatement!! Thank you for participating, you cracked this out the park...he has to be named after your boyfriend (of course) in honor of y'all's first Christmas together😉🥰Can't wait for you, Queen of Halloween, to start my Fall season off right❤🙏🏾
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS
Acetone on a cotton pad will take the pvc printing right off the pipes.
This is truly inspired, SJ. ❤️
