Polar Pals Cracker Set
The crackers in this cute set could be used to gift wrap a small present or could also be used as crackers for your Christmas table with the addition of some cracker snaps which need to be purchased separately.
The finished size of each cracker is approximately 9.25 inches (23.5cm) long by 2.25 inches (5.5cm) wide with the middle section of the cracker being 3.5 inches (9cm) long. Six topper panels/tags are included (plus a blank panel), which can either be stuck to the middle of the cracker, as in the preview picture, or they could be punched and tied to one end of the cracker. You can choose how you want to use this set.
This set contains SIX sheets:
- a sheet with the cracker panel
- three topper/tag sheets, each with two matching topper panels/gift tags with their optional decoupage layers, the final topper/tag sheet also has a blank topper/tag panel that you can use to devise your own toppers or tags
- a matching backing paper that you can print onto the reverse side of the cracker panel sheet if you would like the inside of the cracker to be patterned
- a sheet with instructions for making up the crackers
All the sheets are 300dpi high resolution sheets for quality printing.

Printed and cut with 210gsm. I started by scoring the fold lines and rolling the cracker shape to help the sticking process. Once I have enough spring to hold a basic shape, I added a cracker snap with some wet glue. I tried sticking the cracker with wet glue but found a strong double sided tape was easier to use when manipulating the shape. ?.. Less messy too lol.
I layered the toppers using foam pads and added to the crackers with double sided tape and completed with a pale blue curling ribbon to add to the cold winter effect of the design.
The main card was printed out on to good quality super smooth card, then the decoupage which was printed on to photo paper.
The cracker was cut, scored, folded and glued where needed, then the decoupaged topper was added.
The cracker panels were printed onto 250gsm matt photo paper, with the backing paper printed onto the reverse side, while the remaining sheets were printed onto 128gsm matt photo paper.
The crackers were then made up as per the instructions included. 4mm wide white satin ribbon was used to tie the ends of the crackers shut.
