 These
lovely Christmas Crackers were made using papers available
from this web site. The cracker on top and the one in the
foreground are made from Metallic Papers which are available
from most stationers, while the cracker behind was made with
Banana
tissue paper which is highlighted by bold husks
of banana fibre. Alternatively, the Marble
with Gold Papers are equally effective.
The
contrasting papers used to decorate the body of the crackers
are from the Mulberry
range and the ends have been secured using paper
yarns. Any of our light-weight papers, other than
the Tissue Rag which is slightly less malleable, can be used
to good effect for this project.
-
 Roll
a 10x15 cm piece of cardboard, overlap the edge by 1 cm
and secure with cellotape
-
Take a piece of A4 (or 30x20 cm) paper. Align the cardboard
tube at the edge of the long side ensuring it is centred
on the page. Carefully roll the tube so that it is evenly
covered
-
Run a small amount of glue along the edge and secure
-
Find the edge of the tube through the paper and pinch
the paper to form a neck. Tie in place
-
Cover the body of the cracker using a contrasting paper
and finish with a bow
