The Christmas box comes down from the crawlspace and suddenly everything needs a little more sparkle — the mantel, the front door, the sweatshirt you live in from December first onward. This nutcracker stands guard the way the old wooden ones on your grandmother's shelf did, only softer, hand-painted, with gold that catches the light. Press him onto a hoodie, a tote for the market, a tumbler for the parade. Printed, cut and packed in Okotoks, Alberta, made to order for your season.
What's on this design
A round scene ringed in gold glitter over whitewashed grey shiplap, with MERRY CHRISTMAS arched across the top in deep red hand-lettering. Below it stands a painterly nutcracker soldier: tall red and gold crown hat with a fleur-de-lis, white curling moustache and beard, gold-trimmed red coat, black belt, and laced black boots. Wrapped gifts in red, green and pale blue stack at his feet, holly sprigs at either side.
Who it's for
Choose it for the person who unpacks nutcrackers before the tree goes up. It works on a crewneck for the school concert, a matching family pyjama set, an apron for baking weekend, or a canvas tote of gifts headed to a craft fair. As UV DTF it turns a plain tumbler or ornament box into something you would happily hand over as the gift itself.
Available formats
DTF transfer for fabric, UV DTF permanent sticker for hard surfaces, sublimation transfer for light polyester and poly-coated blanks, and vinyl decal for smooth surfaces. Vinyl is also available laminated, in matte or gloss.
How to apply
DTF transfers press at 280-300°F for 12-15 seconds, hot or cold peel, followed by a 5-10 second finishing press under parchment. UV DTF stickers peel and stick straight onto clean, dry hard surfaces. Sublimation transfers press onto light-coloured polyester or poly-coated blanks. Vinyl decals apply to any smooth, clean surface.
Care
Wash garments inside out in cold water. Skip the fabric softener and the dryer sheets. Hard-surface stickers need nothing more than a gentle wipe.
