Poinsettia Christmas Cracker
These are very easy to make. It is a poinsettia Christmas cracker. Score on all the lines first and fold before cutting out the diamonds.
Once completed roll it up and join the ends together with either wet glue or strong DST making sure you match up the diamond on the other and not on one of the holes.
They are as simple as that. When done you can squash down the two ends and then let go. Finish it off how you wish. If you would like to see my finished one have a look on cup544579_796 when validated and you will see how it is made.
I used a large poinsettia and golden ribbon on mine. Looks lovely.

I printed the design twice onto quality matte card and cut it out, using a sharp craft knife for the interior diamonds.
I scored and folded as indicated and joined the sides with strong double-sided tape for each one.
I added some glitter highlights to the flowers and finished with some faux gems in the centres. These are lovely Christmas crackers that can be filled with interesting little trinkets; much better that the bought ones and way more satisfying!
