HOW TO USE

Print at actual size. Trace over a template with a soft pencil, or tape it behind fresh paper on a bright window and trace it onto good paper. Then try the same nutcracker freehand beside it. In Procreate, import a page as a layer, lower the opacity and draw on a new layer above. Colour them in with pencils, markers or watercolour.

The designs are traditional wooden folk-style nutcrackers, the kind you'd find on a mantelpiece at Christmas.

PERFECT FOR

Christmas sketchbook pages, handmade cards and gift tags, junk journal pages, colouring with children or grandchildren, and anyone who wants to learn to draw a nutcracker step by step.

Personal use and small handmade crafts are both welcome. Please don't resell or share the files themselves.

HOW THESE ARE MADE

Every drawing in this set is my original concept, created in my signature style using AI-assisted illustration tools, then personally art-directed, refined and quality-checked by me before it reaches you.
