My grandsons participated in my church's mid-week Children's Ministry pre-covid when they were younger, and they made ornaments for each of their teachers. One year they made, melting snowmen ornaments - white glitter in a clear glass ornament with a felt triangle for a nose, two tiny black pom-poms for eyes and stick arms - very cute and a lot of fun to make and receive!
This is an ornament which will look really great on your tree and is so simple, even three-year olds can really make them! All you need is chenille wire - I cut each in half - make a "knot" at one end to keep the bells on the ornament, then string two white (silver) bells, two red bells, two white (silver) bells, etc until you get to the other end of the wire. Wrap the end of the wire behind your last bell to secure the end and cut a length of ribbon. Fold the ribbon in half and an inch from the ends, tie a knot to make a loop for hanging on the tree. Hold your string of bells and fold the top a bit to make the "crook" for your candy cane; use the inch of the ends to tie behind the bells where your "crook" forms and voila'! You have a bell candy cane ornament!
This is a simple and fun ornament which your grandchildren can make with minimal help and then give to teachers, parents, neighbors . . . to anyone they want to give a small gift to this Christmas!
Enjoy!
