This nutcracker ornament is super easy to use. You can hang it on your Christmas tree using a string or place it on a mantelpiece. It's a great way to make your home look more festive during the holidays. When handling it, be gentle as it's made of wood and the hand - painted details can be easily damaged. To keep it looking its best, just dust it off occasionally with a soft cloth. Avoid getting it wet, as water can cause the wood to warp and the paint to fade. Enjoy this ornament for many Christmases to come!
