Homeade Doorbells

Deck the doorknobs with jolly kid-made bells. It’s a great activity for days when it’s too wet or chilly to play outside and — between your craft bin and the refrigerator — you probably have all the supplies on hand: an egg carton, paint, glitter, glue, and yarn.

(and you jaderbugs know how much I love GLITTERRR (singing) again)

NINETYYYYYYYY 99999999999999999999999999… (SINGING LOUD in a MANLY voice)

Get your egg carton. Paper works best!

 Cut the cone-shape pieces that separate the eggs out of a cardboard carton (one egg carton will produce five bells).

I just used a roll of colorful yarn. Heart this!

Colors I used for my craft. You can get it HERE.

Paint each divider, using acrylic or poster paint. Let dry; apply glue along the edge of the divider, all over the outside, or wherever you like, and sprinkle with glitter.

These are the glitter colors I used!! ORDER SOME HERE!! Don’t forget to use THESE!

Thread an embroidery needle with yarn. Poke a hole through a bell’s crown, and pull yarn through partway.

Slide a bell onto the yarn.

 Tie a knot above the jingle bell and one a little higher. Like this!

Tie several bells around a doorknob, staggering the lengths of the yarn.

OK. Fa real! I am in LOVE. I know I say that about every craft that has GLITTER on it!!! Can you believe this is 99!!!

I got 99 problems and a _____ ain’t one,

Jingle Bell Wreaths

Jingle BELL. Jingle BELL. {{just ONE}}.

You know I have ALWAYS wanted one of these door bell thingy’s. I just could not imaging paying close to 20 bucks for one. I know, I am cheap. I think I really just have a hard time paying for something I know I can make and prolly better. Let’s get started before I bring these bells to bed with me!

I got some fun glittery gold ribbon from Michaels.

Did you know I love BELLS. I love how bright and shiny they are AND how they make TON’S of noise.

Good ole trusty rusty wire. I tell ya Jaderbugs, this stuff comes in handy.

First thing you wanna do is do this loopy doopy on the end of the wire.

Next cut a piece long enough to work with. I think I cut WAY too much! Ha Ha

Start stringing your bells onto the trusty rusty wire. You bell should have a little loop on the top and you can just slide it through.

This is what you should get Jaderbugs!!! How pretty is it!

Finally I have a bell thingy on my outside door. I know. It’s like a 100 year old door. This door knob is SOOOO old they don’t even make it anymore. It actually has a slot for a handy dandy trusty rusty key. A REAL LIVE KEY. You know, a skeleton key!

Feeling dirty just talking about trusty rusty wire,
