How to Make Your Own Jingle Bell Bracelet for Kids

Use little bells to make a fun bracelet for kids.

The sound of jingle bells is reminiscent of the winter holiday season, which is an exciting time for adults and children alike. For young children, making holiday crafts is a great way to learn about and celebrate the upcoming occasion. Using jingle bells to make a festive bracelet is a simple craft children will also enjoy making at any time of the year.

Things You'll Need

• 1 Red pipe cleaner
• 5 Jingle bells
• Colored beads (optional)
• 1 Green pipe cleaner

Instructions

1. Take a single red pipe cleaner and use your hands to form it into a circle around the child's wrist. Do not close the bracelet.

2. Thread a jingle bell onto one end of the pipe cleaner. Push it along the pipe cleaner toward the opposite end of the bracelet.

3. Repeat step 3 until five jingle bells are threaded onto the pipe cleaner and spaced evenly. If desired, add colored beads to form a pattern with the jingle bells. For example, you could thread one green bead onto the pipe cleaner before and after each jingle bell.

4. Take a green pipe cleaner and coil it around the length of the red pipe cleaner, avoiding the jingle bells.

5. Finish your jingle bell bracelet by looping the ends of the pipe cleaner circle together.

Tips & Warnings

• Experiment with creating more intricate jingle bell bracelets using a wider variety of colored pipe cleaners and different sizes of jingle bells.
