Giant DIY Nutcracker
Big Nutcracker made with old buckets and pipes.
Hometalk Recommends!
This is the final project.
Recently I applied asphalt coat to my driveway and end up with empty buckets, I don't like to throw them in th garbage but I have plenty. I decides that I need a project to used them.
I took some pipes from an old soccer net my father did for my boys long time ago and they don't use it anymore. Those were for the legs and arms.
I went to Walmart and bought the spray paint and painted them and let them dry.
Putting the pieces together
I used screws to attach the arms and cups to cover the shoulders.
For the face I cut a piece of wood for the nose and some stickers for the pupils of the eyes.
Used paint to do the rest and piece of paper to do the mouth.
Cut 2 pieces of wood to do the feet.
Started decorating the body, I used some gold tape and some stones painted in gold color.
Added the hair and beard. The hair is from a Halloween spider net and the beard is from a Winter hat.
For the sword I used 2 pieces of wood and painted them.
The hands are balls of Styrofoam.

It looks amazing! What did you use for the head? It looks almost like a propane tank!

This is a great project, which I would love to make it. BUT... how did you attach all the parts together?!?!?! You don't mention anything about it. Please post something about this. Thank you
still....how did you attach the parts?
Hi Claudia, I hope you read and get to answer this. I forgot to ask in my last post to you the size of the Pork Rind container that you used for the head. I know it couldn't be a 17 oz. but I could be wrong. I would appreciate your help :)
