Make Your Own Personalised (Christmas) Crackers

Step 6 Tying It Up

This is the final stage of the whole process, your almost there now!
Take another bit of ribbon and tie of the other handle, just like you did for the first. Make sure the snap end is sticking out

Tip: To get the ribbon to curl pull the ribbon over a reasonably sharp edge (like the blade edge of a pair of scissors), the pressure of the pull determines the tightness of the curl.

Finally bend the snap end down to touch the cracker handle and glue it there, just like you did before...

... and now your finished! Happy cracker pulling!

This is nice. I bought a bunch of stuff from (English Cracker Co. I think) but i like your version with out the cardboard tube. After they have been "cracked" I track down the tubes to save for next time.

At what point do you add the gifts, and do you have any suggestions for some fun cool gifts?

Hey, Step 5 is where the cracker gifts are added, and that step also mentions some filling ideas. Other than those mentioned, sweets, small stationary items, small toys or anything else small enough to fit inside works well. Just use your imagination :)
