Day 11: Personalised Christmas Crackers
It's Day 11 of The Twelve Days of Christmas Calligraphy and today we are adding some extra magic to our Christmas table by creating these personalised Christmas crackers which make a fantastic name place.
What you'll need
- Fillable crackers (I got these from Hobbycraft)
- Any brush pens of your choice
- Something to pop inside your cracker as a gift
Step 1
Carefully up your fillable cracker so that you can open it out and lay it flat for decorating.Â
Begin by lettering your name to the middle of the centre part of the cracker.
Step 2
Add some decoration around the name. This could be leaves and berries or stars, snowflakes, or even flourishes.Â
Step 3
Place your free gift inside the cracker and seal back up. Then tie some of your favourite ribbon to the ends and it's ready to be placed on your Christmas table.
