Jingle Bell Bracelets

Here's a holiday craft that's quick and easy to make. I'm Lee Woodruff at the craft table with Family Fun. These jingle bell bracelets will help your kids ring in the holiday season.

You'll need bells, beads, and wrist or ankle size pipe cleaners. To create a basic bracelet, just thread beads and bells on a wrist or ankle size pipe cleaner. We use the bumpy type here. Then form it into a circle and make a clasp by looping together the ends of the pipe cleaner. For a fancier look, thread on four or five bells, then coil additional pipe cleaners around the first between each bell. Finally, form it into a circle. For our even more elaborate version, start with a bumpy pipe cleaner threading one bell onto each bump. Form a single pipe cleaner into a circle, then twist the bumpy pipe cleaner around it so that each bell faces outward. These bracelets make the perfect gift for friends, teachers and family.
