Toys-bells for the Christmas tree

The New Year is just around the corner, there are literally just a few days left and you can already prepare in full force for the winter holidays, especially for those who have not done so yet. All supermarkets and markets are already filled with a huge assortment of New Year's decorations for every taste. There are also quite a lot of Christmas trees on sale, both live and artificial. Some people prefer their home to be filled with the aroma of a fresh Christmas tree, while for others a beautiful artificial Christmas tree is enough. Whatever tree you choose, you still need to decorate your New Year’s guest beautifully and elegantly. Some people like bright and colorful Christmas tree decorations of different sizes, as well as a lot of them. Others, on the contrary, love minimalism and monotony, so that the toys are the same, the same size, the same color, and also that there are very few of them. Tastes are different, so everyone has their own varied view. There seems to be a large selection in stores, but still, it’s not always easy to find what exactly you need. In such cases, there is an ideal option for the current situation and you can make interesting and rather uncomplicated Christmas tree decorations with your own hands.And right now we will look at making interesting bells.

For the master class we will need:

• Two bell-shaped foam blanks 10 cm high;
  
• Floral thin wire;
  
• Organza ribbon burgundy with golden edge;
  
• White jute cord with lurex;
  
• Silver rhinestones 3 mm and chameleon 6 mm;
  
• Organza ribbon 25 mm wide with wire edges in red and silver with a star pattern;
  
• Nippers, scissors, lighters;
  
• White felt snowflakes;
  
• Glue gun.

First, we need to make loops in our bells so that we can then secure the ribbons in them. We bite off the wire with wire cutters, bend the loops and insert.


We grab the cord from above with a pistol and begin to wrap the top in circles, first one bell, then the second. Periodically apply glue stick between layers. We do everything carefully and without gaps so that their surface is perfectly closed.


Now we thread the pieces of burgundy organza into the loops and tie knots at the top. Thus, we get pendants. Now we press down the wire loops and insert them into the bells. Cut strips of organza and tie bows. They turn out very beautiful and voluminous due to the fact that there is a wire running along the edges at the base. Now we take more snowflakes and rhinestones.


We glue bows at the top with a gun, glue rhinestones at the bottom in a circle, and glue snowflakes with rhinestones along the bell itself.


So, quite simply, but at the same time very beautiful and stylish, we ended up with Christmas tree decorations. You can make a dozen of these and decorate your New Year's guest with them. Thank you everyone for your attention, good luck to everyone and Happy New Year to you!
