Make Your Own Holiday Crackers

I use paper rolls from toilet paper, paper towels, gift wrap, and anything else that has a roller in it. I have used them for all sorts of gifts:

  • Pets - fill them with treats for you pets
  • Moms - fill with little items that a mom or any woman would like, small trinket, little manicure sets, jewelery
  • Dads - small tape measure, pencil, small tools
  • Candy - fill it up with your choices

Once I have these filled, I wrap them with the appropriate wrapping paper. Gather the paper at the ends and tie with ribbon pink for females, blue for males, and label them. At some craft shops you can buy the "snapper" that goes in the center, if you are using these be sure they are long enough to stick out both ends so they can be pulled.

I also do these and sell at craft fairs, I find making separate one for boys and girls, mom, dad, and pets are great sellers. I wrap them once they are filled and put a small sticker on them for what category they are for. Mom and Dad ones, I tie with pink or blue ribbon, same with the boys and girls. Be sure to mark what they are for, boys or dads, girl or moms, pets should be labeled for cats, dogs, or birds.

Have fun making these and the ones that get them will have fun opening them.

I am making these for my grandson's 3rd grade Christmas party this year. I plan on getting one of those bags of candy and novelties meant for pinatas to fill the rolls.

Thought it would be something different for the kids rather than the normal cookies or cupcakes.
