Wooden Nutcracker Witch Ornament with Broom 26cm - Purple

This wooden nutcracker witch ornament gives the traditional nutcracker figure a Halloween turn, trading the soldier's uniform for a tall pointed hat and a cape. She has a green face with heavy brows and a toothy grin, a shaggy white mane falling down her back, a little orange bow at the collar and a purple belt with a square buckle over a black tunic. White legs lead down to tall black boots, and a broom with straw-coloured bristles rests at her side in one green hand. Her purple cape has a jagged hem, and the whole figure stands on a square purple base. She is 26cm tall, 13.5cm across and 6cm deep.

Purple, black and green suit the season, so she sits happily on a mantelpiece, a hall shelf, a sideboard or a windowsill through October, or among pumpkins and gourds on a Halloween table. At 26cm tall she has enough height to be noticed across a room without crowding a shelf, and her flat base means she needs no wall, hook or stand. She makes a cheerful Halloween gift, and a fun one to bring out each autumn alongside the rest of your seasonal decorations.

Her figure is wood, with a glazed finish that gives the black hat, tunic and boots a glossy shine against the softer look of the cape and hair. Keep her indoors somewhere dry and dust her now and then with a soft dry cloth. The glazed wood can be wiped gently with a barely damp cloth if needed, but the cape and hair are best kept away from water. When the season is over, store her somewhere cool and dry until next year. For a lively Halloween shelf, we like to set her slightly off centre beside a lantern or a bowl of gourds, turned a little to one side so her purple cape and broom catch the eye.
