Homemade Christmas Crackers || Blogmas Day 14



Hello everyone!!!
 
Every year I make Christmas crackers with chocolates in! I still buy shop bought crackers for Christmas day because I like the paper hats you get in them!! But they can be a bit expensive if you want more than one lot of them, and the things that you get inside them aren’t always that great. 

I’ve decided to show you two different ways to make crackers. The first way uses a Sizzix machine, it is a die cutting machine which you buy different dies to cut shapes from paper and card. The machine and dies are quite expensive but I thought it would be nice to show you anyway.



The second way I’ve made some crackers is using toilet roll tubes. I cut a sheet of wrapping paper larger than the tube and put glue on the tube to stick the paper on to it. I put chocolates in them, tied the ends, and decorated them the same as the other crackers I made.


You can also buy kits to make crackers but I couldn’t find any this year which was a bit disappointing.

I really enjoyed making the crackers and I think that they add a lovely homemade touch to Christmas!!

See you soon!
