Make a Christmas hat and cracker

Find out how you can make your own Christmas hat and cracker with Evie.

You will need
  • One cardboard tube
  • Three sheets of tissue paper (one in a different colour)
  • Ribbon or string
  • Glue
  • Scissors (grown-up use only)

For the Christmas Hat:

Step One:

Take one sheet of tissue paper and folder it length ways in half and cut it down the middle.

Step Two:

Glue along the shorter edges of both pieces of tissue paper then stick them together.

Step Three:

Fold the tissue paper in half, then half again and get a grown-up to help you cut out a triangle shape (from the non-glued down edge).

Step Four:

Open the tissue paper out and you have your paper hat.

For the Christmas Cracker:

Step One:

For your cracker, get a cardboard tube and fill it with the hat you have made. You can pop anything in there, like a small chocolate or stickers, for example.

Step Two:

Roll your cardboard tube in the two pieces of (same-coloured) tissue paper and then twist both ends.

Step Three:

Tie a piece of ribbon or string around each end to hold it in place.
