Christmas Bells (Jingle Bells)
By L Lopez
Materials:
- Small jingle bells, two per student
- Pipe cleaners, one per student
- Scissors
- Small clear plastic cups, one per student
- Small stickers
Steps:
- Take two jingle bells and a pipe cleaner.
- String the bells.
- Use your scissors to poke a small hole in the middle of the bottom of each cup.
- Fold the pipe cleaner and twist it at the middle so the bells are on a loop.
- The top half of the pipe cleaner will go through the hole in the cup.
- Make another loop at the top so that the bell can be hanged.
- The pipe cleaner will look like an 8.
- Pick out the stickers that you would like to use and stick them all over the cup.
- Shake the bell to hear it jingle.
Clay Christmas Ornaments
By - Debbie Haren
Materials:
- 1-cup cornstarch
- 1pound of baking sod
- 1 1/2 cups of water
- Stove
- Cookie cutters
- Paints
- Bowl
- Spoon
- Oven safe flat pan
- Straw
Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
- Place the dough on a table or flat surface and press cookie cutters in the dough.
- Gently peel the excess dough away from the design in the dough and place it on the pan.
- Grease pan with butter before placing any ornaments on it so they do not stick to the pan.
- After all the ornaments are made take a pencil or straw and poke a hole in the top of the ornament so it can hung on the tree.
- Put in the oven for a few minutes to harden the clay. If desired after baking in the oven use polyurethane to spray on the ornament to keep them together and to make them last longer.
- Wait one day after they have been baked and/or sprayed with polyurethane and then paint the ornaments.
- After the ornaments have been painted and have dried pick a colored ribbon and tie through the hole at the top and hang on the Christmas tree.
- If no ribbon is available just use a metal ornament hanger to hang it up with.
- Also it really looks neat if you sprinkle glitter on the ornaments before you bake them in the oven. It just gives them a little extra sparkle.
- Of course do not forget you can also decorate with wiggly eyes and pom pom's instead of just paint.
- By all means if you not the crafty type still do this with your family because it is so much fun and the ornaments last a lifetime!!
