DIY Duct Tape Nutcracker Soldier

I’ve always loved and collected Nutcracker soldiers so when I received a shipment of duct tape in a variety of Christmas colors, the idea of creating one using duct tape immediately jumped out at me. That’s how this DIY Duct Tape Nutcracker Soldier was born!

I used a tin can like the kind you can get coffee in and this way it can be filled with cookies or other gifts for friends and family this Christmas season. You could also use any kind of cylinder like a paper tube (for a smaller version), poster tubes (for taller soldiers), or concrete form tubes from the home renovations store.
