Troubleshooting

Nutcracker appears unstable when standing

Ensure the surface it is placed on is completely flat. Check if the base of the nutcracker is even; minor adjustments might be possible with gentle pressure, or place a small, non-slip pad underneath.

Paint seems to be chipping or faded

This is rare with proper care. Gently wipe the affected area with a very slightly damp cloth, followed by a dry one. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources which can degrade the paint over time.

Ornament hook is missing or damaged

You can easily add your own hook or a sturdy piece of twine through any existing loop or by carefully attaching one to the top of the hat if feasible without causing damage.
