These lovely Christmas Crackers were made using papers available
from this website. The cracker on top and the one in the foreground
are made from the Metallic
Papers which are currently on special offer while
the cracker behind was made with Banana
tissue paper which is highlighted by bold husks of banana
fibre. The contrasting papers used to decorate the body of the
crackers are from the Mulberry
range and the ends have been secured using paper
yarns
