These popsicle stick Christmas bells are a great kids craft idea, and they’re really easy to make too!

Craft Supplies:

Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 3 per craft
School Glue
Choice of Cardstock Pape
Craft Scissors
Twine/String
Small Craft Bell {adult supervision!}

Directions:

First grab three popsicle sticks {three per bell} and glue them together to look like a triangle.
Set aside to let it dry completely.
At this point in time, children can also paint their “bell” if they like!
While those are drying, grab your cardstock paper and cut a triangular shape that will be placed within the popsicle stick design.
At this time, you should also cut out a “loop” for the bell to hang from, as well as cutting a piece of string and stringing your bell on it.
To finish off the Popsicle Stick Christmas Bell – have children glue their paper pieces in place, as well as gluing the bell piece in place.
Follow that up by adding other embellishments they see fit to complete the look.
Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
