Jingle Bell Crafts: Jingle Bell Tambourine

Are you looking for a rainy day or holiday craft for the kids? Try making these cute and colorful jingle bell tambourines!

1. Search the outside for two sturdy, forked sticks. These sticks should be easy to find in the yard, especially during autumn.
2. Choose a few colors of acrylic craft paints. Be bold and go bright with oranges, yellows, greens and purples. Do holiday colors. Whatever catches your eye is best!
3. Spread newspaper or cloth over a flat surface, then use a small paintbrush to paint the sticks. Be creative with your patterns. Rainbow or tie-dye patterns are simple and fun.
4. After the paint dries, carefully cut two pieces of thin craft wire, one for each stick. Thread several jingle bells or small bells onto each wire.
5. Stretch the wires across the forked ends of each stick. Wrap the wire tightly, making sure no sharp ends poke out.
6. Finally, choose a few colors of yarn to wrap tightly around the opposite ends of each stick to form a fun and colorful handle.
