Hide the contents if you use tissue paper. Stack 2 to 3 sheets so the contents will stay invisible. The paper does not have to be Christmas themed. It can be winter themed instead. Blue, white, and silver stripes are perfect for a Winter Wonderland party. You can use a summer theme if December is a summer month where you live. Match the paper to your table settings. Your table will be more festive if the crackers match the napkins, plates, candles, decorations, etc.
Many craft and dollar stores/pound shops etc sell cracker snaps during the holiday season. You can also find them available online.
If you added a cracker snap, the tape will be just above it.
For something fancy or elegant, use a piece of satin, sheer, or curling ribbon. For something cozy or rustic looking, use baker’s twine, raffia, jute, hemp cord, or yarn.
Measure your head and add 2 inch (5. 1 cm). Cut a 2. 5 inch (6. 4 cm) strip of paper according to that measurement. Cut a zigzag pattern into one of the long edges. Overlap the two narrow ends by 1 inch (2. 5 cm) and secure them with a piece of double sided tape. Roll up the crown into a tube, then tie it up with a piece of string. This allows the crown to fit inside your cracker.

You can also decorate with puffy paint instead.
