Christmas Cracker Making 

Christmas with a bang! Discover how to make your own crafty crackers this Christmas. Perfect for quirky events, team building days or parties with friends & family. 

Create your own unique set of Christmas crackers from scratch at this fun festive workshop. We’ll provide a wide range of festive papers, a haberdashery of matching trims, plus those all important cracker snaps to make your crafty crackers go bang! Also provided will be the paper hats to include in your crackers, but we’ll leave the gifts up to you. 

We'll show you a variety of techniques to decorate and customise your handmade crackers, including attaching festive trims, paper crafts, and other fun embellishments. All in the spirit of the season of course! If you have a set theme or colour scheme in mind, let us know and we'll endeavour to provide the perfect materials, papers and trims to match. Each person will make approximately 6 crackers at this session, and the finished crackers will be able to be recycled after use.

Ideal as a festive team bonding activity or even as a family get together. This activity can be flexible and is available to be run as a drop in experience, or even as a shorter session for a tailor made event experience. 

P.S. This activity is also available as a DIY Craft Kit, perfect for groups on more of a budget, for a more low key event, to give as a gift, or just to make your own at home! Head to our crafty shop to find out more.

Staff Christmas night and what a fabulous activity craft to start the night off. Pandora our teacher was lovely and arrived on time. She brought fillers and lots of decorations so everything you required to make fabulous crackers. Everyone enjoyed it and certainly an activity I would highly recommend.
