I remembered more than 23 years ago, in the musical group I was asked to make some little soldiers, nothing like a nutcracker but it had its similarities, at that time in the 90's were fashionable dolls made with pantyhose, I had to make almost 60 dolls.
Foami came into our lives to make things easier for us, now everything is prettier and more elaborate, also somewhat complex to make. I hope you like my version of the Nutcracker.
Join me in the step by step.
