Homemade Christmas crackers

Print Pin Save
Author: Claire K Creations

Ingredients

  • paper to make the hats
  • cardboard tubing
  • jokes
  • present I used chocolates this year
  • crackers you can get these at your local craft store
  • tape measure/ruler
  • string/ribbon
  • paper that coordinates with your decor
  • sticky tape
  • scissors

Instructions

  • Cut the tubing down to size (I cut mine to 10cm).
  • Make the hats - measure around your head and add a couple of cm. Measure out the tissue paper and cut the hats to size. I folded a few sheets together and cut them all at once.
  • Tape the two ends together to make a hat.
  • Decide how big you want your crackers to be and measure and cut the paper to wrap up the roll in.
  • Use a little bit of tape to secure the cracker to the inside of the roll (make sure you only tape the bit in the middle where the two ends join)
  • Insert your jokes, hat and present in the tube then roll it up and secure with sticky tape.
  • Scrunch the ends next to the end of the roll and tie with ribbon.
  • Decorate as you like.
