Easy
1 .p
  • Bonne Maman jars 30 g
  • White spray paint
  • Wooden beads
  • Linen cord
  • Metallic gold paper
  • Glitter paper
  • Gold lurex foil
  • Star confetti
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun
  • Forged screw (or nail and hammer)

Steps

  1. Open the Bonne Maman jars and paint them white. Pierce the center of each Bonne Maman lid.
  2. Cut a 20 cm piece of cord and tie a knot before threading a wooden bead, then tie another knot. Thread another bead (in a different size) and tie another knot. Make one more knot and then form a loop for hanging.
  3. Insert the cord through the hole in the Bonne Maman lid and secure it with hot glue.
  4. Bell 1: Cut a strip of gold paper (1 cm) and a strip of glitter paper (6 mm) and glue them together around the jar’s screw thread. Paint some wooden beads white to alternate colors. Create a small chain by threading three beads onto a cord. Make three bells and tie them together. Glue the knot to the bottom of the jar.
  5. Bell 2: Thread 20 small wooden beads onto a cord, alternating one bead with three white beads, and tie this like a chain to the top of the Bonne Maman jar. Then cut strips of glitter and gold paper and glue them to the ends of the cord (10 cm). Thread a white bead through the gold paper. Tie a knot to bring the four pendants together and glue them to the bottom of the jar.
  6. Bell 3: As with Bell 2, create a chain of small beads at the bottom of the Bonne Maman jar. Tie it around the screw thread. Then make a pompom from golden lurex yarn and tie it to a cord, which you then glue inside the jar. Finally, stick shiny stars on the outside of the Bonne Maman jar.
  7. Your DIY is now ready to hang on your beautiful tree!
