Making a Decorative Bell: Attach Beads to Pipe Cleaner

Video Transcript

"Now we're going to create the handle of the bell. The way we do this is we're going to be using our pipe cleaner, and first we're going to take the pipe cleaner, and run it through the top bead. And this is going to help us keep the handle of the bell attached to the string of the beads that are inside. And that's how the string of beads is going to be attached to the bell by way of the handle. So, I run the end through the top bead, and I just let it out enough that I can twist it around, and keep it secure. You can cut the edge off if it's hanging out. It might have a sharp point to it, so you want it to lie flat. Now we take the other end that's left, and we put it through the top of the cup, in the same hole that we made in the beginning when we were decorating it. And we see that the beads hang down, and we see also that they are very visible when you look at the bell. So that is why they were decorated, even the ones that are inside. We wanted to decorate all the beads, because it is very noticeable, and stands out when looking at the project. So, we run it through the top, and we let it hang out, and that is going to be used as the handle for the bell. Now, the handle still needs to have some work done to it. Next, we're going to finish off the handle, and decorate it a little bit more."
