Paint or wrap each roll in skin-tone paper for the face area, leaving the top and bottom for clothing. Cover the remaining sections in white or pink paper to form their uniforms.
Cut out small paper rectangles for arms and glue them to the sides of each roll. Then add small strips of glitter ribbon as cuffs and belts for a festive sparkle.
Create hats using leftover paper, roll and glue into cylinders that fit snugly on top. Decorate with stars, stripes, or dots.
Use a marker to draw the nutcracker’s classic face: bold eyebrows, a mustache, and a neat smile. Then add sequins or pom-poms as buttons for extra flair.
Let everything dry and, if you’d like, attach a loop of string on the back for hanging. Now you’ve got a trio of delightful little soldiers ready to stand guard over your Christmas cheer.
