Do you have lots of old ornament balls in your basement that you don’t know what the heck to do with? Maybe you want to use them to decorate your tree but they are just too run down and boring! Well never fear, Colleen is here!! In this special three part series I’m going to show you how to transform your boring old Christmas balls into ornaments that will look beautiful on your Christmas tree this holiday season!! The first ornament I’m going to teach you to make is the jingle bell mouse, which I named after a role I had in my elementary school Christmas play! This would also be great to make if you are a Disney fan because it resembles Mickey Mouse. Anyway the first thing you are going to do is take a piece of pipe cleaner and string on some mini jingle bells. Depending on the size of your ornament ball I would recommend using about 4 or 5 bells. Next wrap your pipe cleaner around the middle of your ball and tie it off. Cut off any extra pipe cleaner hanging off the back. Lastly take two pom pom balls and glue on each side of the top of the ball to represent ears. And that’s all there is to it! You can also decorate your ball with Christmas stickers as well if desired. Also if you don’t have pipe cleaner you can use any kind of Christmas colored string, yarn or ribbon as long as it’s thin enough for your jingle bells to fit through. You could also use cotton balls for ears if you don’t have the pom poms I used. Either way your jingle bell mouse is going to look great on your tree!! Up next the snowflake ball!!
Creatively yours,
Colleen🎄
