I love jingle bells, they are so cute. I try to hold back, but when I see the lovely ones they have in Paperchase each Christmas, I just cannot resist them, but I thought it’s about time I made something with them.
So, I have made a jingle bell phone charm using leads I found in HobbyCraft and jump rings that I have had for ages.
It only took a couple of minutes to make but there’s a bit of a knack to opening and closing jump rings, I’m not quite there yet, but I am getting better with practice.
I’ve also made a festive key ring, again using bells I got from Paperchase last year, jump rings and a blank key ring. Simples!
These are going in my Many Pocketed Advent Calendar, I just hope the ringing doesn’t drive the recipient mad!
Oh Wow. Totally love them. I must get myself doen to Paperchase, the bells are just fab. I especially like your festive keyring :-) You are just full of such wonderful ideas.

LOL I love jingle bells but they do drive me nuts LOL
ReplyDeleteA couple of weeks ago the police had a stand promoting handbag safety (near work) nearly all the girls now own a jingle bell charm for their purses...boy does it get noisy when the tea trolley arrives.
Toni :o)
Yet another great idea, off to find my local Paperchase
ReplyDeleteWow Helen, is there no end to your talents? Love, love the keyring - keep up the great work.

I keep eyeing up those bells in Paperchase and then managing to stop myself from actually them!
ReplyDeleteI would also like to hold you personally responsible for my new obsession with Paperchase stickers. I thought on Monday I will go in and see what Christmas ones they had so I bought some then, and then some more yesterday! I'll be blogging all about it over the weekend.
Keep up the good creative work! I really enjoy your blog and what you make.
