How to Make

Cracker Decoration One - Step 1

Cut 6 x 60cm lengths of yarn.

 

Fold each length in half and attach them to the cinnamon stick with a larks head knot.

 

Cut 1 x 40cm length and thread it in between the centre knots and join the two ends with a knot – you can use this to tie the finished piece to the cracker.
