The festivities have not dampened my children’s desire to craft. We managed to squeeze in another quick New Year craft which I wanted to tell you about. We made a sweet little paper bell garland for New Year.
Equipment needed to make a paper bell garland:
gold coloured paper
scissors
pencil
pipe cleaners
sellotape
twine
How to make a paper bell garland:
Find something large and circular to draw around, I picked an old coffee jar, and drew and cut out 6 circles.
Find the top of each circle and make two folds to create the bell shape like this.
Cut a small length of pipe cleaner and sellotape in place inside each bell.
Stick the flaps of the bell down with a small piece of sellotape.
We decided to hang our bells on some twine and they’re currently hanging above our paper plate New Year numbers.
