Outdoor Christmas Lights For Theater Props

The basic scene that most people try to recreate is the "Dance of the Sugar Plum FAiry." This immediately draws certain ideas to mind. In particular, the picture in people's minds is of sparkling white. Ofcourse, it is a natural choice to use white outdoor Christmas lights to recreate a sparkling white and frosty backdrop for your nutcracker decorations.

Using Your Imagination and Creativity

Of course, the Nutcracker is a ballet. With that in mind, you have an opportunity to use fabrics in a very creative way. In order to recreate the Nutcracker theater theme, a combination of outdoor Christmas lights and tulle ballerina can be used. This is especially beautiful when decorating trees or porches.

Nutcracker Decoration Caution

Following this theme requires one word of caution. The Nutcracker theme immediately makes everyone think about ballerinas. One of the things that is amazing about dancing is the ability to float in the Air.It can be a real temptation to buy a mannequin or make a giant Doll and Dress it to look like a Nutcracker ballerina. Of course, this Doll is decorated much like an angel or a dancer with lots of fluffy white materials.

Everything seems like a good idea until it comes time to display your dancer. Suddenly, you realize that you've made a terrible mistake. Unfortunately, one of the few ways that you could display your dancer would be to hang it up. This can be a shocking sight for many people to see. They might think that someone has committed suicide in your yard.
