| Egg Carton Christmas Bells |
This is an easy project kids can do by themselves
or with very little help.
Materials:
- Old egg cartons
- Scissors
- Yarn or string
- Small bells
- Elmer's glue
- Glitter
- Paint
Instructions:
- Cut the egg carton into separate cups. With the point of the scissors
or a sharp pencil, poke a hole in the bottom of each cup.
- Decorate each cup however you like. Mix glitter into your paints
for an quick colorful sparkle effect.
- Cut a piece of string or yarn about 6 inches long. Tie a small bell
onto one end. Tie a small knot in the string about 1 inch above the
bell. Thread the string through the hole in the egg cup. Pull it all
the way through till the knot hits the inside of the cup.
- To hang from the tree, you can tie a loop in the rest of the string,
or you can tie/attach it to to a regular Christmas decoration hook.
- For a pretty door decoration, tie several bells to the bottom of
a hanger. Decorate the rest of the hanger with ribbon or evergreen swags.
Hang from a door to hear jingle bells every time the door opens!
