Turn ordinary Christmas crackers into glamorous décor items for your Christmas Eve table. Christmas decorations need not cost an arm and a leg. Just by adding a few simple elements to something as ordinary as a cracker, it is possible to have a table that wows your guests without breaking the bank in the process.
Total Time: 5 minutes per cracker
Yield: one cracker
Supplies:
- silver Christmas cracker
- miniature candy cane
- white paper tray doily
- small red bell
- red or silver ribbon
- standard scissors
- Sellotape
- hot glue gun and glue sticks
Steps:
- Cut a piece of lace border from the paper tray doily. Wrap it around the cracker and use a piece of Sellotape to keep it in place. Tip: If making six crackers, two paper tray doilies will have enough lace borders to wrap them all.
- Tie a piece of ribbon around the candy cane, make a bow and neatly cut the ends.
- Add a small drop of hot glue to the knot of the bow, so that the bow won't come loose.
- Hot glue the candy cane and bell to the Christmas cracker.
