a cracker is not just for christmas






they are for birthdays too! scrap paper printed with this christmas cracker template, odds and ends of ribbon, pull-popping cracker whatsits, all from the stash; containing hand made hair ties with vintage buttons (idea from my vintage vow), elastic pom pom bracelets and wee lollies. the unfinished grey one on the end is for the boy. racking my brain for an easy, cheap, diy boy thing to slip in there. any suggestions?

  2. How about some jeez what are they called those jelly type wrist things all the boys wear hmmmm or some small lego bits for them to build themselves depending on the age of the boys I guess stickers are always a good option too

  3. perhaps some marbles? lollies always a winner too. spinning tops? handmade badges? wondeful idea though using crackers for other occasions!

  4. Yes marbles are a good idea. Or maybe matchbox cars or those toy army men.
    The crackers look great. A sweet idea for gift giving.

  6. Having a December birthday I always had crackers for my birthday parties and think it's a wonderful all year round idea, yours are so pretty and I second the Lego idea.
