Do you always buy Christmas crackers, only to be disappointed and throw away both the wrappings and the ‘gift’? If this is the case, then let us show you how to make your own crackers that can be used again and again, and you can fill with your own personalised gifts for that special Christmas treat.
In this one-off session we’ll show you how to sew reusable crackers from recycled materials, or your favourite fabric -perhaps some pieces with a special meaning for you? They’ll become a part of your family traditions, and you can refill them every year with gifts chosen especially with your family and guests in mind.
We’ll also ask if you would consider making one extra cracker to give to a charity or local cause.
What will I learn?
You will learn how to use some basic numeracy and sewing skills to make unique, individualised Christmas crackers to reuse and fill with gifts of your own choice every year. If you have time you may like to make an extra cracker that we can donate to a charity on your behalf.
How much will it cost?
This course is funded through Multiply; as such we are able to offer it as a FREE session.

What do I need to join the course?
Some basic sewing skills would be useful but not essential as our tutor will be on hand to support you at all times.
What do I need to provide for the first session?
We have a store of fabric scraps large enough to make crackers, however, if you have a particular theme for your Christmas table or wish to bring some fabric with a special meaning to you, please do so. Basic equipment will be supplied.
What could I do next?
We have a wide range of art and craft courses available - our tutor will give you more information during the session on opportunities to continue your creative journey.
