I tried this, you didn't mention to size it down and there was gaps at the end ties! also, don't glue snap all the way or it won't bang! just the ends :) great tutorial though x

What type of card or paper do you use

[@afiawilliams2722]

Nice tutorial. 1 tip change the color from black to grey or a lighter color for a better Visual to follow along in terms of the score lines.

How gsm thickness is the card that you used?

[@PocketWonders]

It doesn't say on the packaging but this is the same brand. Only the paper patterns are different: rstyle.me/+Zj6ywm9eI-gB6a5_Gb-pqg

These are not known as Party poppers, they are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. If you are going to demonstrate a English tradition GET IT RIGHT.

Hi Lottie, thanks for your comment. I am always looking to be more educated on the traditions in different countries. Could you share what the difference is? Many retailer websites list Christmas crackers and party poppers synonymously so I'd love to learn more about your comment. (Eg: www.goldenberrygourmetgift.com/christmas-cracker-party-poppers/christmas-crackers-amp-party-poppers-thanksgiving )

Wow lottie how rude, how about you just think, oh we call them crackers here in the UK and carry on with your day. Rather than posting a comment like that on this woman's page and possibly ruining hers...

[@lottierenwick8789]

@@PocketWonders I think it's best you do your own research into it. I think so many traditions get lost. Especially these days. And it's a shame, especially for those who treasure them. Anyway merry Christmas 🌲

Party poppers A party popper is a handheld pyrotechnic device commonly used at parties. It emits a loud popping noise by means of a small friction-actuated explosive charge that is activated by pulling a string. The explosive charge comes from a very small amount of Armstrong's mixture (a highly sensitive explosive) in the neck of the bottle-like shape. In some party poppers the explosive charge is replaced by compressed air. In party poppers with an explosive charge, there are less than 0.25 grains (0.016 g) of explosive. The streamers are non flammable for safe use. The charge or compressed air blows out some confetti or streamers and emits a popping sound.

@@laurenminton6133 yes from Google. I said the History of crackers. Plus crackers don't have confetti in them or compressed air. They have a snap. Which backs up what I said. So I rest my case.
