christmas crackers

Our table wouldn’t be complete without the crackers, and this year, because they’re so simple to do, we’re making our own, filled with delicious chocolate treats – yum!

you will need:

bon bon snaps (available for around $4 per 100 from craft stores)

• cardboard loo rolls
• sticky tape
• wrapping paper cut into A4 size sheets
• treats for inside – I love to use Lindt chocolate balls

  how to:
  
  I use tape to stick the bon-bon snap inside the cardboard cylinder then I wrap the paper tightly around it – some extra tape will hold it together.  Pinch together one end, then hold the cylinder upright and fill the open end with treats.  Pinch this together to create a cracker.  You can leave them plain or add more detail by cutting and glueing on some cards.
