What You Will Find Here
How To Make Mickey Crackers, With A Free Christmas Cracker Template
Creating something from scratch rather than buying from a shop gives me so much joy. Don’t get me wrong, you can get some incredible crackers; however, do we ever really find the gifts useful? It’s much better to create a bespoke cracker and put thought into each and every gift.
Or indeed fill it with inexpensive treats such as candy canes and chocolate coins.
You Will Need
- A Christmas Cracker Template
- Cricut Machine or craft knife
- Cutting Mat
- Cricut Pearl Paper or Disney Themed Paper
- Weeding Tool
- Brayer
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun
- 1 kitchen roll tube or 4-6 toilet roll tubes trimmed to size
- Cracker Snaps
- Fine Ribbon
- Pre-printed jokes, check out my printable Disney Jokes
Cut Your Christmas Cracker Template
Start by uploading the template to Cricut Design Space. (If you don’t have a Cricut machine simply pull the template into Canva, change the colour and print off, or cut out 1 template and use as a guide on wrapping paper.)
Size the template to get the size you want your crackers to be. To get this Christmas cracker template on a mat twice, thus resulting in less wastage, I made the length of these crackers 10.5 inches. However, this is optional. But it also gave me space to add the Mickey decorations around the edge.
Send your Christmas cracker templates to cut, ensuring you choose the correct setting for your chosen paper or card stock. I used the Cricut pearl paper in silver and gold which I found to be the perfect thickness and texture for this project.
Making Your Mickey Crackers
Once you’ve weeded your project, size the cardboard tube and cut off any excess. Place a small amount of glue on the tube and glue to the cracker template.
Glue The Crackers
Next glue the cracker template to the inside of your tube with a small amount of glue to loosely secure it, but not on the snap part. Now roll the template around the tube, tuck in the tabs and glue into place.
Tie On End Of The Cracker With Ribbon
Tie one end on the cracker with ribbon before filling the cracker with your gift and joke and tying the other end with ribbon.
Now Decorate Your Crackers
Lastly, decorate your cracker with the decals to finish off. I chose Mickey-themed decals and used the cutouts to decorate.
