Ho Ho HO!

" This jingle bell bracelet is adapted from Family Fun magazine Vol 13, no. 1, from one of three versions of the jingle bell bracelet.


Materials:
Holiday colored chenille stems. Straight stems can be used, or the bumpy ones for a fuller effect.
1/2" jingle bells. It took 8 for this bracelet. Note: Smaller bells could be used.

Time: About 20-30 minutes, as the kids need more help with this craft than usual.

Method: 1) Size one chenille stem to fit over your hand and twist the ends tightly.
2) Attach the second colored stem to the bracelet. Twist the wires so the cut ends don't scratch the skin.
3) Thread on a bell. Bend the stem, go around the bracelet, come back out and add another bell. Do this around the entire bracelet.
4) Attach the end of the chenille stem to the bracelet, and start jingling.
