How to... Christmas Crackers

Hey dolls :)
Today, seeing as it is Christmas Eve, I felt like doing a festive 'make' for you all.
This time of year is perfect for Christmas crackers and being a personal sucker for them around the dinner table myself, I have decided that it is only right that I show you how to make your own quirky crackers...



What you will need...

  • Clean toilet tubes
  • Wrapping paper
  • Sticky-tape
  • Scissors
  • Pretty ribbon or string- get creative!
  • Sweets/ Chocolates
  • Paper
  • Coloured pens
  • Labels
  1. Firstly, Roll your toilet tube up in wrapping paper and stick in place. It will look like a long tube/ poster.
  2. Twist one end and tie with ribbon/ string. You can colour co-ordinate the ribbon with the person if you wish- Just make sure it looks attractive!
  3. Write down festive jokes or unusual facts onto the paper using coloured pens, cut them out and put into tube.
  4. Snack-sized sweets such as Heroes or Celebrations work great in these cute crackers!
  5. Once you have filled up your cracker, twist the open end and tie again, with ribbon.
  6. Create labels for your friends so that they know which cracker is theirs.
  7. Voila! Your perfect Christmas cracker. Pull around the table for festive, family fun!

Happy Making! Milly xoxo
