Materials Needed
- A printable or hand-drawn cone template on sturdy paper or light cardstock
- Tinsel or metallic garland
- Green craft paper (optional)
- Small star or embellishment (optional)
- Ribbons, glitter, or small craft decorations (optional)
- Cracker snaps (optional)
- Hemp cord or ribbon
- Tissue paper
- Small gifts, jokes, or treats
Steps to Create Your DIY Tinsel Tree Christmas Crackers
1. Prepare a Paper Cone Template
- Cut out the cone shape from your template and curl it into a cone, securing the edge with glue or tape.
2. Decorate the Cone to Resemble a Tinsel Tree
- Wrap or glue strips of tinsel or metallic garland around the cone, starting at the base and spiraling to the tip to mimic a Christmas tree's texture and shine.
- Alternatively, you can glue small pieces of tinsel or use green craft paper cut into thin strips layered like branches.
3. Add a Tree Topper (optional)
- Attach a small star or embellishment at the top of the cone for a festive finish.
4. Make It a Christmas Cracker
- Inside the cone, place small gifts, jokes on slips of paper, or tiny treats.
- Close the wider base of the cone by folding inwards and sealing with ribbon or string tied around, which also serves as the cracker’s pull mechanism.
5. Additional Embellishments
- Use ribbons, glitter, or small craft decorations to enhance the look or to conceal the cone seam.
- Optionally add a cracker snap inside if you want the traditional snapping effect (note: snaps can be purchased separately).
These DIY Tinsel Tree Christmas Crackers can be customized for each guest at Christmas dinner or used as table decorations during holiday parties. Decorate the top point of the cone with additional tinsel fringe, if needed. Trim the excess tinsel fringe from the bottom of the cone.
