How come nutcrackers only come out during the winter holiday season? Why not make one for Valentine's Day?
This is the special Instructables member Nachomahma version. Like most nutcrackers, this one does exhibit the same range of motion but may need assistance when busting a nut. Could be a gumball buster. Since I have never met the good man in person, I have based a few details on Skunkbait's field guide and have captured on film some shots, including what will be his favorite, "has burger". Flame broiled and over 200 million served. Maybe there will be a Burger King on Mars. I wonder what that would be like...
So make your Valentine's Day Nutcracker based on any character or significant other. Entirely made of recycled cardboard, glue, a pencil, yarn and some paint.
