How To Make Christmas Crackers Los Angeles CA

Steps

1. Assemble the items needed.
2. Write a special Christmas message on a slip of paper.
3. Add a small gift, along with the special Christmas message, in a paper tube. This will form the inside area of your cracker.
4. Measure out a square of tissue or wrapping paper that is wide enough to cover the roll, leaving at least 4-5 inches of paper to spare at each end.
5. Cover the toilet tube with the paper and glue it down.
6. Cut lengths of ribbon or tinsel. Tie these around the paper at each end of the tube. Knot them and tie in a bow.
7. Decorate the cracker. Add a dash of glitter glue, or stick on small images that you have cut from old Christmas cards.
8. Place on the table ready for opening during a Christmas meal.
