This is a lovely mindful activity you can do in the Autumn sunshine or for the festive season, sure to get you in the hygge mood.

Make Fabric Crackers
To make the fabric crackers with Emma’s Woodland Walk Napkins you will need:
- Emma Britton Woodland Walk Napkins
- Cardboard Tube
- Treats for inside
- Pretty twine, raffia or ribbon – we used some from Nutscene
- Scissors
We used coloured twine and vintage scissors from our friends at Nutscene. To match the greens and reds in Emma’s design. And filled the crackers with homemade treats.
- Lay your napkin flat, with the pattern facing up, place cardboard tube in centre.
- Fill your cardboard tube with treats, try wildflower seeds, sweets, gin miniatures or tiny toys!
- Gently roll Emma’s Woodland Walk Napkin around the tube.
- Cut two lengths of twine or ribbon, long enough to tie into a bow.
- Pinch the napkin around the ends of the tube. And tie each end/pull tight the twine with a bow twine bow.
- Pop on a place setting like below, and make more for your table, voila! Shop Woodland Walk Napkins here, £24.
