    Vianney you are definitely a GENIUS! I never would have thought of that! You did a great job with it but it’s still a lot of work. I wish they would’ve put a die instead of a stencil. I agree with you the holes at the end are very large and you would have to wrap the goodies inside with tissue paper so they wouldn’t fall out. Thanks for the amazing tips and taking the time to make it in real time! Have a wonderful weekend!

Btw, I laughed so hard in the video where you described the shape of the Anna Griffin flip card cut out as “looking like something that should have wings”....I was thinking the same thing!

    You are a genius for figuring out how to cut the triangles out. I thought it would be horrible to have to cut each one out with an exacto knife. It came out really cute but I don't care for the hole in it either. I guess you could wrap up something in tissue paper first and then put it in there. At any rate, glad I didn't get this box. I'm pretty sure Cricut has a Christmas cracker shape. I know you don't care for Design Space but I use it all the time so it's easy for me to just have Cricut cut it out for me. LOL! Thanks for your video. Really enjoyed it!

    I love this stencil! I placed it on my scoreboard, marked score lines with stylus and ran all the way down. Then the same on the cross wise lines. Fold scores, cut v's from tails while folded, and it makes diamond shapes. Note that on stencil there is about 1/2 inch between the v's so it doesn't come apart. Then fish tail cut the out side edges. Wrap the prizes/presents for the inside in coordinating tissue paper. The cracker snaps are available on Amazon. We have made these for ears wrapping towel rolls. FUN! Thank you for doing this. It made me find a way to do it since I have hand issues. Love love love. (I didn't remember to leave the space between the v's, so will try taping ribbon over it.) I did use the paper from the kit and it is firm enough for me, I think. Love and thanks! You ROCK!

Since they are so big in England and a lot of folks here know about them, I am surprised CC doesn't have a separate die for this. I know Sara mentioned they were not the ones that "crack" and have goodies and I remember thinking, so what is the point? Clearly only decorative. Anyway, pure genius idea!

    I feel for you with the cutter never cutting accurate, i have 3 cutters, all have accuracy issues, & my misty has same problem with ruler guides. So irritating. The cracker is cute, think it could be a family craft project. I’m guessing you have to fill them & then stuff tissue at the ends, or maybe use a string ties that crushes the end. Perhaps would be cute hanging on xmas tree like an ornament. You were genius again & very helpful in solving cutting issues. I still own paper punches. I’d probably look for one of those to cut the edge with. Circle punch 1/2 deep or something. I hate scissor cutting. I think these crackers are like “ tradition” to people in UK & worth the extra work.

I havent tried that yet, but already have enough scrap to use for decorations! LOL. I looked at a lot of tutes using rolls for center as I have done in the past, and when I did that I just squished the crimped part together. I do love the creased look, so will keep experimenting.Son bought us some last year at about a dollar each. So cheaper and more fun to make. You inspire me by opening up a package and just MAKING it!

    Think I’d rather use the WeR candy box punchboard. It may be a little bigger than this, don’t know for sure. In the time It takes to score this you could have the WeR candy box done. This was too much work for this lazy person. I hate doing all that cutting, but at least you made it easier by folding it. For me personally, this would be a waste of money. The end result was very cute though. This is part of the reason i watch your videos, to see if it’s for me or not. Then there’s just the I enjoy the heck out of watching you factor.

      LOL! So, I have never ever given a thumbs down on a video...but it sounds like you use it as a reflection of what you think of the item or product and not the UA-camr? I see it differently! LOL! No worries, thank you for your comment. The holes are pretty big, I would say about an inch. It seems to be purely decorative but Sara said she would put fudge in it!! LOL!
