    Cut white Crayola Color Explosion™ paper in half. Decorate the front of the paper with Color Explosion Markers to reveal surprising colors. Add details or fill areas in a dark color, for example, with Crayola Markers. Create holiday designs, reveal cool colors, and add seasonal messages. Each one will have its own look!

    Punch decorative, see-through holes in the cracker if you like. Your bright tissue paper colors that line the cracker will show through the holes.

    Cut tissue paper about twice as big as the cracker. Glue it on the plain inside of the Color Explosion paper so that tissue sticks out on both ends of your cracker. Roll the paper into a tube. Tape it closed.

    Cut two pieces of colorful ribbon. Tie one end of the cracker closed. Fill the cracker with small gifts, treats, poems, or another craft you made. Tie the other end with ribbon to finish your festive holiday favor!
