Christmas Jingle Bells…what to do with them all.

Use the bells as part of a SWAP
for your Girl Scout troops. Make friendship bells by tying bells to a simple
ribbon with a bow; make a simple wreath using pipe cleaners, or bells on a ribbon
attached to a safety pin. Some ideas are pictured to get the ball rolling on
ideas.
You can sew bells onto almost
anything to make them more fun too. Sew them onto the end of your Santa hat,
your winter hat, your shoe laces, your flip flops, your dog’s collar, a
sweatshirt for your Grandma. Anything fabric can be adorned with bells.
Accessories at Christmastime are
always better with bells. Take a jewelry wire, attach a bell to the bottom,
make a loop to close it and string bells on the open end. When you have filled
it with the amount of bells you want, loop it closed and attach it to a
standard earring hook. Or just add bells to a jump ring for a more clustered
look. Instant Christmas earrings! Now make a matching necklace too.
You can also obviously also make
Christmas ornaments out of a bunch of jingle bells. You can do wreaths by
stringing them onto wire in a circle shape, a snowflake by using strait shapes
and looping the ends, or candy canes by alternating the colors and making a
large hook shape. Or make them larger by using more bells and have them be a
door knob hanger. Be sure to add ribbons to finish off the look.
Not the crafty-type? Do the plane and
simple home decorating by just pouring them into a clear bowl and adding a
candle. Pour some into wine glasses and set them on the table in a grouping.
Pour them into mason jars add old ornaments on top and put them on a shelf in
the kitchen, put them in a vase and add fake flowers or poinsettias stems (no
water needed). Or because red wine should be served at room temperature, add
bells to the glass wine caddy and snuggle a bottle of your favorite red wine
into it. All of these options can also have a festive ribbon attached to the
container to give it that designer touch.
