DIY Nutcracker KIT

Create your own impressive life-size nutcracker with our strong cardboard postal tubes, made from 100% recycled fibreboard. Each kit includes all the tubes needed to build the body, arms and legs, so you can start building as soon as it arrives.

Choose from three sizes: a small 600mm nutcracker for a shelf or mantelpiece, a 1200mm medium kit, or a giant 1800mm nutcracker that stands as tall as most adults. Every tube is wound in our own Essex factory, so the sizes are consistent and the tubes are sturdy enough to hold their shape once decorated.

Many of our customers tell us they struggled to find cardboard tubes this size anywhere else. Our kits take the guesswork out of it, with the right tubes for each part of your nutcracker in one box, along with assembly instructions.

This mini kit includes all the cardboard tubes needed to create a smaller nutcracker or themed character. It stands approx 600mm tall once assembled, making it a good size for a shelf, a windowsill or a festive table display.

Like our life-size kits, every tube is wound in our Essex factory from 100% recycled fibreboard, and the kit comes with the tubes for the body, arms and legs ready to build.

Perfect for home crafts, school projects and festive decorations, the mini kit is a great way to try a cardboard tube build for the first time. Paint it as a classic nutcracker soldier, a snowman, a robot or a character of your own design.
