Two Christmas Cracker Gift Box Ideas

Louise Thompson

If you’re looking to have a go at making your own Christmas crackers for the dinner table this year, then these two Christmas cracker gift box ideas are a fantastic place to start. One of these is a slight twist on the original design that uses red plain card and your favourite patterned card. For the traditional DIY design, use our red fever Sirio pearl double sided card to make that classic Christmas cracker box shape, and dress them up with your favourite festive ribbon and stickers. This craft idea is a great way to customise your Christmas crackers, as you can fill them with whatever you like!

Mini Christmas Luminary

This adorable Christmas Luminary is a perfect way to spruce up your Christmas table, or to dot around the house for some extra festivity. Use your favourite red card, buff smooth card, glitter, and glue to construct this luminary, and finish it off by placing a battery-operated tealight in the centre. You can use this luminary as place settings on your Christmas table, or even use them as gifts. You could even host a Christmas crafting evening and invite your friends to create their own Christmas luminary. Either way, this craft idea is simple yet beautiful, and you can even bring it out every December to enjoy.

Merry Christmas Card

Making your own Christmas card is a great way to get crafting around the festive season, and is more personal than store-bought cards. For instance, this Merry Christmas card design will be sure to light up the recipient’s day when they receive it in the post. Christmas cards are also a great way to send customised messages at this time of year – you could even include the recipient’s name on the front of the card to make them feel extra special. For this craft you will need some white hammered card, stardust silver mirror card, some red gems and metal dies, to create that winter wonderland look. Following this tutorial, you will be able to make some truly spectacular Christmas cards for all of your family and friends.

Little Green Christmas Tree

Emily

A great idea for crafting with the family is these little green Christmas trees featuring sparkly handmade baubles. The possibilities are truly endless with this design, you could add your own DIY Christmas lights and star at the top for a personalised choice. They are incredibly simply to do, and the tree shape can either be cut by hand or using a cutting machine if you have one. Using dark green plain card, red wagon non-shedding glitter card and some tree stencils, these trees can be created in no time at all. You could add twine or thread to the trees to create a Christmas tree garland, or as a 3D gift tag idea! They are a great way to get all the family involved and keep the children entertained.

Mini Christmas Wreath

Stacey Bone

For those who want to tackle a more intricate festive design, then this mini Christmas wreath could be the perfect project for you. You’ll need a flower craft punch (these can be easily found online or on eBay), intensive red plain card, dark green plain card, and some Anita’s PVA Tacky Glue – or your preferred choice of adhesive. Using a leaf template to cut your card, you can carefully arrange the intricate leaves and flowers to form a wreath shape. This crafting idea is slightly more complex, but the end result is definitely worth it. Use your wreaths as table decorations or as a way to elevate your Christmas gifts.
