Hi Guys,

I'm getting married at Christmas so for my favours I'm making my own Christmas Crackers and filling them with goodies. I will also use them as placenames. Here's one of 50 I've made so far.Only another 150 to go!!! I must be crazy?!

Aw thanks! I'm filling them with a Lindt truffle, a joke and a little thank you note with these cancer pins attached. We made a donation to cancer research uk and they send you these for all your guests. They come with a blue or pink diamond and quite a nice way to create awareness

I'll post a pic when I've finished the little cards for inside.

Hi Peeps000
I love these and want to do the same thing, i was just going to buy them, but these would be so much better. Would you mind PMing me all the details of where you got the paper and how you make them & so forth? if you dont mind.

Redgp - they are fab

I tried using what i thought was the right paper but didnt work just smeared over the page - if u have any spare bellacullen could i get some from you ( to get an idea what it is exactly) and i will fix up postal costs...thanks :thnk

Its tissue paper - like what shoes are wrapped up in in the box....

I just have to figure out how to put it through my printer without it tearing or jamming!

Pm me your address and I'll send you on some

I find the easiest thing to do is stick it to a sheet of light card to get it to go through the printer, it needs to be stuck down all along the edges or it will catch and kinda gather in the printer and will smudge. Also I find the ink smudges on the edges of the paper so keep your text centered on the page. Hope that helps :compress

Peeps000, your crackers are amazing and I'm sure everyone will be blown away when they see them! Love the little charity pins too, that's a gorgeous idea. Well done you, so creative!

Peeps your crackers are fab. Very fancy altogether.

Bellacullen - I was just admiring awkward Annie's candle, would you have any spare sheets or if not did you buy them in a art and hobby shop or where. It's a fab idea. I can PayPal the postage and any other costs too ye.

Edited to add- my god bella your bouquet is fab (just started looking back through the pages) I want it. It's just perfect. Well done girl.
