DIY: Christmas crackers
We love Christmas here at OHbaby! and one tradition that is loved but usually a bit of a disappointment, is what's inside our Christmas Crackers (or bon bons). Are we right? :)
This Christmas, make your own crackers with some good quality Christmas gift wrap. The cheesy jokes are, of course, a must-have!
You can then pick and choose what goes into your Christmas crackers! We've also provided the jokes as a free printable.
Check out the how-to video and instructions below
What you need:
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Fold the paper on these points, so there is an inwards 'dent'
Step 4:
Once folded on both sides, cut diamond shapes out of the indented fold about 8mm apart each across the full width. (Hint: if you join the two indented edges together you can cut both at the same time - see video)
Step 5:
Once cut, stick double-sided tape to each end of the inside of the cracker.
Step 6:
Remove the tape and stick the card to the bottom adhesive strip.
Step 7:
Place your joke, treats and bonbon snap into the bonbon at the lower end. Remove the double-sided tape peel to reveal sticky tape, and roll the paper and treats together to the sticky tape and secure.
Step 8:
Tie each end with ribbons in a bow and voila - you can get cracking! :)
