How to Make a Christmas Cracker Box. – Sign Design – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.
Today, I’m sharing a fun and festive project that’s perfect for the holiday season—these adorable Christmas Cracker Boxes! They’re a wonderful way to package small gifts, treats, or even table favours, and they add a touch of handmade charm to any Christmas setting.
The first cracker box is created using Thick Basic White Cardstock and decorated with the Christmas Tags and More Designer Series Paper (DSP). I’ve added a cheerful black-and-white gingham bow to tie everything together.
The second cracker features a Real Red base and the Traditions of Christmas DSP, giving it that classic festive look. I finished it off with a soft, sheer ribbon to add a delicate touch.
Finishing Touches
For a bit of extra flair, I tucked coordinating tissue paper into the tops of each cracker. This not only adds colour and height but also gives the boxes that polished, professional look.
The sentiment on each box is from the Sign Design stamp set, which has a matching punch, making it quick and easy to create perfectly cut labels.
The ribbon I used is a retired style, but don’t worry—there are plenty of lovely ribbons available in my online shop that would work beautifully for this project.
