It was too late/ when I found out I had no cracker snaps to make my Christmas crackers this year . The shops had run out of them. I decided to make my own. :-) The only thing is... crackers won't crack with a big pop. Instead, we will have to sound the snaps after opening the crackers.
To make it....
Cut 4 c.m strips (lengthwise) out of A4 paper.
Fold it into half lengthwise.
Open and fold a side inwards till it meets the central fold.
Fold the next side too.
It should look like this.
Fold it along the central fold again. The open ends should be inside.
Fold the entire strip into half.
Fold the two sides out to form an 'M' shape.
Hold the middle fold of the 'M' by your left hand. Set the right hand above the left allowing the flaps to rest on the thumb & the index finger. Pull the strips upwards fast to hear it 'snap'.
