Place your candy and toys inside a craft roll tube. For mine, I used one folding fan, one pen and about 3 to 4 gold chocolate coins.

Cut a piece of red tissue paper wide enough to wrap around the craft tube, and long enough to be able to tie each end and still have extra “fringe”. Place a piece of scotch tape to hold the tissue and roll the tube until the entire tube is covered with tissue.

Use one of your treat bags to wrap around the tube for added decoration. It will be perfect to hold all the goodies tucked inside once the cracker is opened. Secure with Scotch tape.
