Cracker Flowers

I guess I just can't help myself. Went out to a Christmas dinner last night and spent some of the night making flowers from the hats in the Christmas crackers. If you are a bit crazy like me, this is what you do: rip the hat in half (if two colours you separate the colours), then roll the hat up, start rolling tightly then loosely as you get to the end. The crinkly end becomes your flower, scrunch the other end in to make a stem. After that you can pull back some of the outside layers out to make the flower open out. A number of the hats were green and red so I used the green part to wrap around the stem to make it longer. At the end of the night I ended up with four flowers in a glass on the table.
