12 Days of Christmas DIY Party Favors

November 27, 2015 by Martha Bonneau

As the Christmas season approaches, it means that holiday entertaining is not far behind. If you are hosting a Christmas or holiday party this year, then you will be looking for fun DIY party favors to create and give out to your guests.  One of my favorite Christmas favors is the traditional Christmas Cracker. The tradition of the cracker started in the UK in the 1840’s and continues to be a popular favor to this day. Cardboard tubes are filled with small candies and toys, strips of paper with jokes, and even a paper crown. Not to be confused with the kind of crackers you eat, they get their name from the cracking sound they make when the ends are pulled to open them.

I live with my husband, 7 and 4 year old daughters, and a pug named Pixie in Crystal Lake, Illinois which is in the ‘burbs NW of Chicago.
I started scrapping in 2006 and was quickly addicted!I was an avid scrapper until late summer of 2010 when we started our adoption journey, at that point I was overwhelmed with paperwork (and emotions!) and I had to put something on the back burner in my life but I knew I would eventually come back to it.
We welcomed our daughter home from China in December of 2011 and a few months later I found my groove again and pulled out all of those supplies that had been tucked away.
I started out scrapping again doing traditional layouts, but at the beginning of this year I jumped into Project Life and I love it!
When I’m not scrapping I am usually spending time with our daughters which means library time, going on walks, thrifting (they love it as much as I do!) or watching Kung Fu Panda for the millionth time.I also have an Etsy shop Panda Eight Designs where I sell scrapbooking flair that I design.
