Christmas Cracker for a Lipstick using Feels Like Frost DSP



 


I've been teaching my zoom class a selection of Christmas table favours recently. Nothing says Christmas table more than a Christmas cracker!

The cracker I taught them uses a piece of 6" x 6" DSP (Designer series paper) and would fit a couple of chocolates inside, I'll give you the instructions for that one below. 

As one of my class wanted to gift some lipsticks, I've designed this cracker to perfectly fit a lipstick. It uses 4" x 6" DSP,  so you'd get 6 out of a piece of 12" paper! 

For this one I've used the beautiful Feels Like Frost DSP & tied it with some of our Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon.

Hope you like it

Thanks for stopping by
