3D Jingle Bell Ball Ornament Using Pipe Cleaners
Make a gorgeous jingle bell ball ornament using pipe cleaners! It’s so easy and fun for the kids to make at Christmas time. I think my next jingle bell ball ornament will be with only silver jingle bells, a sparkly silver pipe cleaner and a buffalo plaid check ribbon bow!
Are you ready to create a fun holiday craft? With just a few simple materials – pipe cleaners, jingle bells, and some ribbon – you can create a adorable bell-shaped ornament that’s sure to jingle all the way!
To start, lay the pipe cleaners out in a way that each piece crosses in the middle. Then, give the stems a twist together to form a 6-legged spider shape. Next, thread 6 jingle bells onto each arm of the chenille stems. Bring the opposing ends together, pushing the jingle bells all the way down to where the stems are twisted together.
Twist the open ends of the chenille stems together to secure. Finally, bend the twisted ends to create a small loop for hanging. To add a finishing touch, cut a length of decorative ribbon and tie it between the hanging loop and the top of the pipe cleaners. And that’s it! Your jingle bell is ready to ring in the holiday cheer!
