Christmas Crackers

What better way to show off your crafting skills than at the main event itself- Christmas Dinner!!

What you need: 

  • Pretty paper 
  • Toilet rolls 
  • Double sided tape or glue 
  • Cracker snap 
  • Prizes 
  • Ribbon 

What to do: 

  • Cut a piece of paper into an 8 inch (20.3 cm) by 12 inch (30.5 cm) rectangle. 
  • Orient your paper landscape style. 
  • Attach a cracker snap (if using) to the top of the paper.  
  • Lay a strip of double-sided tape along the top edge of your paper, or some glue 
  • Use a strip of double sided tape to attach an empty toilet paper tube to the bottom centre of your paper.  
  • Make the cracker body. Roll the toilet paper tube as evenly and as tightly as you can towards the top of the paper to keep the paper smooth. When you get to the top edge, run your finger along the tape to seal it. 
  • Tie one of the end of the Christmas cracker shut. 
  • Fill the Christmas cracker with your choice of goodies
