Christmas Crackers

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

  1. Roll a 10x15 cm piece of cardboard, overlap the edge by 1 cm and secure with cellotape
  2. Take a piece of A4 (or 30x20 cm) paper. Align the cardboard tube at the edge of the long side ensuring it is centred on the page. Carefully roll the tube so that it is evenly covered
  3. Run a small amount of glue along the edge and secure
  4. Find the edge of the tube through the paper and pinch the paper to form a neck. Tie in place
  5. Cover the body of the cracker using a contrasting paper and finish with a bow
