Merry Christmas to all

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Merry, Merry Christmas, creative community, all artists, and everyone here in Hive world.! This is my second entry for the monthly Christmas decoration contest. I'm currently in India, living in a small town where it's quite difficult to find craft materials.

While I was out shopping for Christmas, I tried to gather some supplies to create something nice for the community. I ended up making a simple yet beautiful craft: Christmas bells. I would like to share it with you all!
It is simple and very attractive, made from material that you can easily find.

20241224_175419.jpg
cut the circle into two halves through the center point

20241224_175832.jpg
Holding the center point made 2 cones out of the 2 semicircles

20241224_181600.jpg
Glued the edges of each using a glue gun.

20241224_180041.jpg
Cut 2 cm strips of the golden foam.

20241224_181755.jpg
glued the golden strip on the rim of the cone.

20241224_181932.jpg
here I have two cones that shall become bells.

20241224_200945.jpg
Now making the clappers. I used molding clay wrapped in red cloth and tightly tied using sewing thread. these are the balls of the clappers

20241224_202424.jpg

20241224_202532.jpg
i spread glue on the cloth and dipped them in glitter powder.

20241224_202559.jpg
tied those using thin wire and kept them aside.

20241224_204129.jpg

20241224_204335.jpg
fixed golden lace around the bottom.

20241224_205002.jpg
and some golden string up to the top.

20241224_210304.jpg
and fixed some stars on the bell body.

20241224_214022.jpg
made a small top section of the bell with golden foam.

20241224_214238.jpg
inserted the clapper wire inside the bell and fixed golden foam around it.

20241224_215823.jpg
wrapped golden tape around the glass bangles to form a golden ring.

20241224_220028.jpg
to fasten the ring to the bell I threaded the clapper wire through the top of the bell and then through the hole in the bead and wrapped the remaining wire around the ring

20241224_220228.jpg
Those bells were attached to the ring. to conceal the wire on the ring I just wrapped a small piece of the golden tape around it.

20241224_220434.jpg
Using the glue gun I fixed a flower, a few leaves and berries to the ring where the bell is attached.

And finally, the bells are ready to ring, no I mean hang.

Thank you very much for stopping by. Happy holidays.
