Quick and easy Christmas Crackers

 

You will need:

Scissors
Glue
 2 Toilet roll middles
Paper Ribbon

1. Cut your paper to 3 lengths of a toilet roll long and wide enough to wrap around it and overlap a little.
 2. Cut one of your toilet roll middles in half
3. Glue around one of the halves of toilet roll middles and place it at the edge of the paper, now glue the whole one and place the unglued half inbetween it and the half that is stuck so that you leave a gap I/2 a toilet roll wide. Then glue the other half to the other edge ( see picture)

 

4. Roll them so that they stick nicely to the paper and glue along the edge of the paper so that it is nicely sealed. 5. Tie your ribbon in the space between the toilet rolls and curl the ends of the ribbon by running along a flat edge.



Now all that is left to do is place your gift inside BEFORE tying the other end. Decorate to suit your paper or the person receiving the gift, try out different variations and paper.
