Keeping up with the love-of-gift-giving, today I’m sharing a quick and lovely way to package the prezzies. These DIY Nutcracker Gift Tins take seconds to make and they’re so fun to give away!
To make your own you’ll need:
- metal tin
- wooden nutcrackers (found at Hobby Lobby)
- Metallic gold spray paint
- hot glue gun (not pictured)
In a well-ventilated area, spray the nutcrackers with the gold spray paint. Allow to dry. Once they’re dry to the touch, hot glue them to the top of the tin and you’re all set! Fill the tin with tissue paper and your gift of choice (cash…) and give to a friend (me)!
Don’t you just love the holidays? I/ve always been obsessed with nutcrackers. Remember these nutcracker jar toppers from last year?

I love gold and nutcrackers- SO cute!!
