‘Tis the season to start scouring blogs and Pinterest for Christmas ideas, right? I’ve got you covered today as far as neighbor and co-worker gift ideas go…
Here’s an easy, handmade ornament that you can make for your own tree or as a gift for neighbors or co-workers.
To make a Rudolph Jingle Bell Ornament, you’ll need just a few supplies:
large, brown jingle bells
googly eyes
red poms
hot glue/glue gun
brown pipe cleaners {1 per ornament}
brown floral wire {1 per ornament}
Assembly is super fast, so get those hot glue guns warmed up!
The first thing I did was make a loop out of my floral wire. I just strung it up through the open lines of the jingle bell. This will be how you hang the ornament on the tree.
Next, I glued the googly eyes and the red pom onto the jingle bell.
Finally, I used one pipe cleaner and strung it through the top part of the jingle bell. I twisted it, to secure it to the bell and then bent the pipe cleaner to look like antlers.
And, that’s it! Easy peasy and oh so cute!
