I hope you're enjoying your weekend and the cold hasn't stopped you from getting out and about. However if you are safely wrapped up inside you may want to try this super quick and very thrifty Christmas craft.
If the above video doesn't work, feel free to nip over to my A Thrifty Mrs YouTube channel to watch it there. You can subscribe to my channel here, it's free and you'll never miss another video.
Mini versions will look great strung together or placed on your Christmas tree and of course it is up to you what you decide to fill them with - or if they're for decoration if you're going to fill them at all. Our crackers are filled with mini candy canes.
TTFN,
P.S. Anyone had snow yet?
aw, no snow for me yet:(
ReplyDeletelike the idea of popping a mini candy cane in them as the treat.

Great idea Mrs. Thrifty! We always make our crackers and take great joy in making the little gifts personal and coming up with naff jokes, it's part of our Christmas family preparation fun xox Penelope
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of Tom and Barbara's crackers, do you have to shout bang when you pull it? did you make hats from folded newspapers?
ReplyDeleteNo snow yet :( did a beauty type cracker pressie for sis (hope she doesn't see this!) Great idea xx

I'll be making some of these to give with gifts this year. I'll be putting a lottery ticket in some of them for adults and sweets and stick on moustaches for the kids in my family. Such a great gift idea :)

On the subject of 'how to' posts I thought I'd let you know that I've recently done a post on how to make a teacup candle, I sourced the teacups from charity shops and I'll give them as gifts...I thought I was being rather thrifty! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I commented earlier but again great post, I love crafts!

We used to make these alot when I was younger. We added sweets etc inside and then gifted to each other as a surprise.
ReplyDeleteWe had snow here in Cambridge last week!
