FAQs
Can this nutcracker be used to crack nuts?
No, this item is designed strictly as a decorative ornament and does not feature a functional lever or moving mouth mechanism.
What are the dimensions of the nutcracker?
The nutcracker stands 40cm tall.
Can I use this outdoors?
This product is intended for indoor use only. Exposure to rain, snow, or extreme temperature fluctuations may damage the glitter and paint finish.
How do I clean the glitter finish?
We recommend using a light, soft duster. Do not use wet cloths or abrasive cleaners as these will strip the glitter and potentially the paint.
Is the base heavy enough to prevent it from falling?
The nutcracker features a flat, stable base designed for standard shelf and mantel display, though it should be placed away from high-traffic edges.
Troubleshooting
Glitter shedding during setup
Gently tap the ornament over a tray or paper towel before placing it in its permanent spot to remove loose glitter particles.
Nutcracker feels wobbly on uneven surfaces
Ensure the base is sitting on a completely flat, hard surface. If placement on uneven surfaces is necessary, use a small piece of furniture felt or adhesive putty under the base for added stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the nutcracker requires no assembly. Simply remove it from its packaging and place it on a level, dry surface. To maintain its appearance throughout the season, avoid placing the item in direct sunlight or areas with high humidity, which could affect the finish over time. If dust accumulates, use a soft, dry microfibre cloth to gently wipe the surfaces. Do not use chemical cleaners or water, as moisture may damage the glitter application or the painted uniform details.
