Christmas crackers are a wonderful way to decorate the table at Christmas time. Here is a simple, yet effective and stylish way to bring colour and theme to your table this Christmas.
You will need
Newspaper
Cardboard roll (paper towel)
Christmas theme cheese cloth fabric
Coloured twine or thread
PVA craft glue
How to make?
- Cut the cardboard roll to size and newspaper to fit.
- Lightly spread a thin layer of glue to the outside of the cardboard roll and wrap the newspaper around. Make sure there is an even overhang on either side.
- Twist the ends, wrap the twine around and tie a knot to hold it in place. If the twine or thread begins to fray, attach a small amount of sticky tape to the ends.
- Apply a small amount of glue to the area of the newspaper for the fabric and wrap around, smoothing out any creases.
- Allow the glue to dry.
Other ideas:
- You can place some yummy surprises, balloons, colouring in pictures with a crayon or jokes inside the Christmas cracker.
- The Christmas crackers can be used as gift tags or make as a great small gift.
