Description
This wooden skeleton nutcracker ornament gives the traditional nutcracker soldier a playful Halloween turn. He wears a tall black top hat with a white band, a smart black jacket with white striped trim at the shoulders and a white bow motif at the front, and a white bow tie beneath a grinning skull face with round dark eyes. In one hand he holds a cheerful orange jack-o'-lantern, which adds a bright spot of colour against all that black. He stands 26cm tall, 7.5cm wide and 6cm deep on a square black base, a good height for a shelf or mantelpiece without crowding it.
We think he earns a place in any Halloween display. Set him on a mantelpiece, a hallway console or a bookcase, or group him with your other Halloween decorations on a sideboard for a spooky centrepiece that feels fun rather than frightening. Because he stands freely on his own base, he needs no hook or wall fixing, so you can move him from room to room as the season goes on. His mostly black colouring sits well with orange and purple seasonal pieces, and the orange pumpkin in his hand ties him to a pumpkin-themed table. He also makes a fun Halloween gift.
He is made of wood with a glazed finish that gives the black a soft sheen and keeps the white details crisp. He is a decorative ornament rather than a toy, so give him a spot on a shelf or mantel rather than a play area. To keep him looking his best, dust him with a soft dry cloth and wipe away any marks with a damp cloth, then let him dry. When the season is over, wrap him in tissue and store him somewhere dry until next October. For a playful mantel, stand him beside a carved pumpkin, or hand him over with a bag of treats as a Halloween gift.
