Christmas crackers or Bon Bons are a Christmas table staple but they all seem to contain little bits of plastic that isn't useful and ends up in the trash. We're putting an end to that with these great ideas to create and fill your own Bon Bons this Christmas!

Our DIY Bon Bon sets includes 10 ready to fold bon bons with the sticky tape already added. Its so easy to put these DIY Bon Bon together in 3 easy steps -

1. Fold along all the creases

2. Peel the sticky tape in 3 places (middle and the two ends) and stick together

3. Scrunch the two ends and tie with ribbon

These Bon Bons are a little different from traditional Christmas crackers as they don't have a snap in the middle and are made from sturdier thick cardstock so they are more of a gift box than a pull and snap bon bon. 

I love to fill these with lovely little things and add them into my holiday hampers for family, friends and neighbours. They are also perfect for personalising with names or text - See this blog post for 5 ways to Personalise Your DIY Bon Bons
