This year for our family Christmas Lunch I decided to make these festive 'Sunnyboy' shape favours for each place setting rather than the usual bon bon. These are a twist on the traditional Christmas cracker, unfortunately there isn't the fun 'pop' when you open it, but they can be filled with whatever goodness you desire! I decided to add 2 chocolates in each which will be demolished quickly I am sure. These could be used for any celebration, just switch up the paper!
What you need:
Patterned Paper
Gold Ribbon
Red Ribbon
Double-Sided Tape
1. Cut out a rectangle piece of paper. The size will depend on what you want to put in the bon bon. Mine measured 15 x 12cm and it was a tight squeeze to fit in two small freddo sized chocolates.
2. Roll your paper into a cylinder shape so the two short ends meet and stick together with double-sided tape.
3. Squash one end of the tube together and secure with tape.
4. Add in your treats.
5. Stick the remaining sides together in the opposite direction.
6. Stick gold ribbon on each end.
7. Hole punch one end and thread your red ribbon through.
These are very simple to make and you will get the hang of it very quickly when the paper is in front of you. I hope you like this little twist on the traditional bon bon and have a great Christmas!
