Just a quick little fun project that I've thrown together for my craft stall on Saturday; Polar Express inspired ornaments. Now if you've read the book or seen the movie you should understand but for those of you that haven't, the ringing bell stands for faith, for believing in something special, for magic - be it father christmas for young children or Jesus Christ for practicing Christians. Whoever, or whatever it represents to you, it's just a fun little thing that reminds us all of the joy and magic that christmas time envokes.
I'd seen numerous versions of this project on Pinterest but was most influenced by this one. I'd picked up a mixed box of 9 bells and made my own little tag to go on them and used up oddments of red and green ribbons. I then stumbled on this fantastic free printable and printed them off to go in the bag with the bells, for a fuller explination.
They were fun and super quick to do and make me smile when I look at them, so hopefully they'll be off to new homes soon to make other people smile and feel the christmas joy.
I would like to enter these into Creative Inspirations - Traditional Christmas Colours challenge if I may.
Until next time, happy crafting!
I love the thought of these little bells, a good idea, hope you sell them all
