Christmas Bells

Take a white cup, decorate the outside with glitter, sequins, beads, paper, stickers, whatever. Punch a small hole in the top of the cup. Slip a pipe cleaner through the hole to the inside of the cup. Twist the pipe cleaner around so it forms a hook. Place a jingle bell at the end of the pipe cleaner. Now your little ones have a bell for the tree or a gift.

For variation, use a tiny plant pot which you’ve painted white. Instead of pipe cleaner use gold chord. For an angel, cut out and glue on felt wings. Cut a piece of gold pipe cleaner to form a halo and attach through wooden bead used as a head.

Don’t forget about using the toilet paper rolls for crafts. You could make napkin rings, drums, toy soldiers, angels, and lots more.
