Tips and Suggestions

    li>Have all materials ready before starting. Explain how and where pieces can go.
  • Stringing the bells were the most difficult and required so pre stringing them might work better for younger children.
  • For younger children, have them show you where they want the decoration to be placed and have an adult or older sibling assist.
  • You can make it into a Christmas Wreath ornament instead of a door hanger if you prefer. It would be a great inexpensive classroom craft and perfect for a gift to parents.
  • This can be done with large groups of children. Create a small work station for each child and have an adult ready to assist. One parent to 3-4 children would make this run smoothly.
