Challenge 485: Pull my crackers
This photo of a couple of Christmas crackers comes courtesy of Craig Groshek on Wikipedia, and I've been using it to decorate my festive scenes for about five years now. Christmas crackers traditionally contain a paper hat, a bad joke, and some cheap trinket. Can you pull one or both of these to reveal the contents? For authenticity, you'll need to rotate at least one half so they're not so flat on to the camera - but how might this be achieved? High res is here. 
Christmas shutdownI'm going offline for the rest of the year, so you've got two weeks to complete this Challenge. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the excellent work you've contributed throughout the year. Reading through the entries has been a real pleasure each Friday morning. Here's to many more! Happy Christmas, everyone. |

Great work Gordon, you've really captured the tradition of terrible jokes!  *That knife should be under the hat I think? Good job. |

Wishing everyone and their families a happy and safe Christmas. A big thank you to Steve for all his work and effort he has put into the forum and another big thank you to all the members for making this place fun to be at! Gordon the little lion is adorable  Id love to get one of those in my Christmas cracker. Last year I was inundated with tweezers of all things!!

Re: Challenge 485: Pull my crackers
Just a quick job and nothing like as clever as the other entries but I hope it raises a chuckle  _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |
