Christmas cracker kit-set!
NZ $4.50
Ever since I can remember I've made Christmas crackers for the family.
Now I've written my methods as step-by-step instructions, prepared all the materials you'll need, and even made you some tinch heart magnets to pop inside.
Imagine, Christmas day - the whole family - crossing arms ready to pull the crackers you've made for them. They're filled with treats you've handmade, bought from other local makers, or selected especially with them in mind. They pop, crack, bang! Squeals of delight as loot jumps from the cylinders, spin on the table, and rattle on the floor! Oohs and Aahs as everyone discovers the individual goodies that were hiding until now; unexpected, quality, clever, thoughtful little gifts. This is how crackers should be!
This is a lovely pre-Christmas activity to get the kids to help with - but remember, loot is supposed to be a surprise!
When finished, they're rather majestic, they make beautiful Christmas table decorations while waiting patiently to be pulled. In theory, the person who gets the larger end of the cracker gets to keep the loot....
These are an ideal gift to send the in-laws, or grandparents - make enough for one each, package them all together carefully in a box, and there's something for everyone, thoughtful and fun for Christmas day!
For EACH cracker purchased, your kit will include everything in the 1st photo:
- 3 x little tinch heart magnets to pop inside (they're a lucky dip, could be any colours)
- round tinch Christmassy wreath stick-on tag (see 4th picture)
- cracker snap/banger
- card for inner tube, trimmed to size, with tape
- tissue paper, hand-trimmed to size
- outer paper (red/white gingham as in 2nd picture), hand-trimmed to size, with decorative zig-zag edge
- 2 x white curling ribbon pieces
- each kit also comes with an instruction sheet and a wee festive treat for the maker!
>> The listing price is for ONE cracker, purchase as many as you need.
>> Kits are packaged flat with all these materials inside
You will also need:
Scissors
Sticky tape
Christmas music to entertain as you make!
I suggest you fill them with other little treats too, here's some suggestions:
- more tinch magnets - lucky dip hearts or fish are ideal (see my other listings)!
- entertainment note: hand-write jokes, quiz questions, family discusion topic i.e. share a memory of..... etc
- packets of seeds
- little wooden pegs
- chocolates
- party hats (try making them yourself!)
- little soaps or locally made lip balm by Honey and Spice: http://felt.co.nz/listing/83106
- quirky-cool pencils by Emma Makes: http://felt.co.nz/listing/71245
- lots more little goodies here on Felt - have a good look!
If you have any questions at all, please ask!
