DIY Greetings!
It's been a long time since I did a craft, however, the start of school comes with a lot of work for both children and mothers, and so in this second week of school the school is asking for the collaboration of each parent in making Christmas decorations to decorate the institution, despite still missing two months for Christmas, by orders of Voldemort “Christmas came early in Venezuela” anyway, the teacher sent us a tutorial to create these bells that I found super cute, I followed step by step each part of the tutorial but I did it differently in terms of design and colors, today I want to share with you how I did it and the final result of this work that is really quite simple and beautiful to decorate, plus we can reuse bottles, I hope you like it.

I started cutting out the soda bottles, this time I would only use the tips, then I cut the frosted green fomi into strips, in the video it said that they would be 2 cm strips, however, I don't like to work measuring, so I cut it without measuring, with this green fomi I started to line the bottom of the bottles, gluing it with hot silicone, take the christmas balls and put a thick thread, since the thread they had was too short, so I cut it and tie this thread that is longer, pass the thread through the hole in the lid of the soda.
I glued the tip of the thread to the soda lid again using hot silicone, then I closed the lid and verified that the christmas balls were just as I wanted, with a lighter green fomi I started to line the soda lid, first I cut some long strips and placed them on the edges and then I cut out two circles to cover the top of the lid.
With a piece of fomi I joined both lids creating the shape of bells, then I started to decorate with more details, luckily I had some Christmas bows saved and I saved myself the part of making them, so I simply glued them in the front center of the soda lids. I got some golden threads which I wanted to add to my bells, I glued them in a spiral shape, to finish I had to put a thread to hang the bells, I took the same thread I used before and lined the ends with fomi to adhere better, I glued them on the top of the lids.
I really enjoyed making this craft and although they were not perfect, I expected it to be worse, in the end I feel that they look nice I just have to clean a little traces of hot silicone that are still hanging in threads in some parts hahaha, but it was quite entertaining.
