DIY Snowflake Nutcracker Ballerina Ornament

This classic Nutcracker Christmas tree wouldn't be complete without the dancing ballerinas. Create beautiful, shimmery DIY Snowflake Nutcracker Ballerina Ornaments with just a few simple supplies. Start by cutting out ballerina silhouettes. I used my Cricut to create and cut out my ballerina's, however you can also download the ballerina template and cut them out on white cardstock. Next, you will need to make paper snowflakes. To create paper snowflakes you will need to fold the paper into a triangle. Use sharp scissors to cut your folded paper with variations of cutouts. Sprinkle the snowflake with glitter, cut a small hole in the center and glue it around the ballerina.
