Happy holiday craft day! Today, you can link up your craft projects at Hi Sugarplum and Michaela Noelle. I like doing crafty things, but only if they don't require a high level of difficulty or lots of time. My jingle bell door hangers are easy and quick- perfect holiday craft for me! I used a bangle bracelet for the ring around the door, then tied the bells with ribbon and hot glued a decorative faux branch on top. I got the bells at Michaels (6 for $2.50 on sale and they have other colors too).
I made the second door hanger the same way, with silver bells and red and green ribbon and faux berries on top. To personalize it, I added a red glittery chipboard letter.
When I was at Michaels buying the bells, I picked up these cardstock stickers and thought they'd make cute magnets for the fridge. They have little stickys on the back (the whole back isn't sticky) so I just affixed round magnets to the sticky part. I hot glued a magnet to the bow.
I never thought I'd be a fridge magnet kind of gal, because I used to like to keep the fridge totally clear, but once my preschooler started bring home his art, I couldn't resist. (I still clear the fridge once in a while). But, these magnets are festive!
