How to make Christmas crackers

Making your own crackers or bon-bons for Christmas are as easy as pie – you can fill them with trinkets, sweets, and personal jokes or year-ahead predictions.

What you will need

• Cracker ‘bangers’ (see ‘Hint’)
• Empty toilet paper rolls
• Trinkets
• Scissors
• Double-sided sticky tape
• Mid-weight wrapping paper
• Ribbons

Hint

For a bit of snap, buy real cracker pulls from habadashery or craft store.
