How to make, step by step, a surprise cracker for the end of the year with the children
1. The first thing you have to do is cut the paper roll in half.
2. Now we're going to use the double-sided tape , and we're going to stick it on the ends, just outside each half of the roll.3. As it is a double-sided tape, you have this other adhesive part. Remove the protective paper, because
now you will have to stick a piece of golden patent paper on top . Both at one end and the other. This will serve to pull the cracker well when we have it ready.4. Now you reattach a strip of double-sided tape to the other end of each half of the roll of toilet paper. We join one another through the area of adhesive tape.
And cover it with red patent paper. Measure the distance to know how much paper you have to cut. As the ribbon you hit is double-sided, remove the piece of paper that covers it again and now stick each roll on one of the pieces of the piece of red patent paper that you cut out. Remember that the length has to be enough to surround the perimeter of the roll. 5. Cut a piece of gold ribbon and
tie one end as if it were a candy .6.
Fill your cracker or firecracker with confetti, candy and the gift you want . In our case, we will put a secret message.7.
Cut another piece of gold ribbon and tie the other end of the gift firecracker . You already have it! Ready to surprise whoever you want!
