Skip the disposable crackers this year and try this sustainable and charming alternative using fabric napkins. They're reusable, eco-friendly, and add a personal touch to your table!
What You'll Need:
- Fabric napkins (one per guest)
- Ribbon or twine
- A small treat or handwritten note for each cracker
- Toilet rolls
- Optional: Greenery, mini baubles, or cinnamon sticks for decoration
Step 1: Lay the Napkin Flat
Spread the fabric napkin out on a flat surface. Choose napkins in festive colours or patterns for extra charm.
Step 2: Add Your Treat or Message
Place a small treat (like a wrapped chocolate) or a folded handwritten note in the toilet roll in the center of the napkin. For a playful twist, you could also add a riddle or joke!
Step 3: Roll the Napkin
Carefully roll the napkin from one side to another, keeping the treat or note centred as you roll.
Step 4: Tie the Ends
Use ribbon or twine to tie each end of the rolled napkin, creating the classic cracker shape. Pull gently to avoid damaging the fabric.
Step 5: Add Finishing Touches
Tuck a sprig of greenery, a small bauble, or a cinnamon stick under the ribbon for a festive flair.
Why We Love These:
These reusable crackers not only reduce waste but add a heartfelt, personal touch to your table. Each one feels like a little gift, and your guests will love the thoughtfulness behind them!
You can continue on with the napkin theme by wrapping small gifts with them too!
