Crafters Community

We lived in Scotland when I was a child and we always had crackers at Christmas.

This lady has a great tutorial for making them.

Love her pudding break!

I've seen them made for pets, too....with dog biscuits or cat toys inside. I've done them a couple times, including beaded bracelets, candy, little toys and etc....but I used wrapping paper instead and skipped the snap part.

I love her instructions....so complete and detailed!

Some items I have included: sample sized toothpaste and lotion, travel toothbrushes, doll clothes, toy cars, candy and gum, jewelry, pencils or markers, sewing supplies, tiny votive candles and more.

I would put them in two baskets....one with a blue ribbon on it and the other with a pink! (For the kids...) For adults I just made generic things and put them in a basket with a yellow ribbon.

Fast and easy to make for bazaars and Christmas sales, too.

MAKE ART, NOT WAR!

I like people so much I decided to be one .

 

(and I love them!)

thanks for this link!!!! It is such a blast from the past!  When I was a kid we had them for birthdays, they just popped and there was confetti inside, but no gifts.  A few years ago, I was so excited to find some in a store and bought them, I ended up disappointed, because they did absolutely nothing!    I will need to try to make some of these and fill them with goodies for the greats for Christmas. 

How cool!
