Pinecone Doorbell This charming little pinecone doorbell is so simple to make. Omit the dangling bells and you can hang them on your tree. I made about 15 of them for my tree. Once you get started, you don't want to quit.
Another idea, is either use the same size or a little bigger to hang from the ceiling. WALA! A kissing ball.
Here is what you will need: 1. Styrofoam balls (size is your choice-Hint-remember to take into consideration the size of the pinecones-I used about a 2 inch ball for the tree ornaments. A 3inch ball would be a nice size for the doorbell). 2. Lots of tiny pinecones 3. Low temp glue gun - glue sticks 4. Wire(26 gauge or close) to attach ribbon or hook 5. Ribbon or ornament hooks 6. Embellishments- texture snow, tiny bells, glitter, ribbon, whatever you want to add
Their is no trick to this. First, make a ring with a small piece of wire, leaving about 1/2 inch on both ends. insert wire into the ball using a little glue. Next. Start glueing tiny pincones on the ball. Please note: Always abut the next pinecone to the previously attached one. Leave no white space. Keep doing this until your ball is covered. Add texture snow. Note: Paint this on only at the top of the ball. Imangine where snow would fall naturally on it. Let dry. Attach tiny bells to each end of ribbon as shown. Use a straight pin and glue to attach to bottom of the ball. Attach ribbon or hook for hanging. Add glitter or whatever you heart desires.
These cute little pinecone doorbells even look good standing alone on an ornament stand. Don't add the snow if you want to have these out year round. Hang a big one in your kitchen window or hang them in groups. Let your imangination go wild. You will get lots of compliments.
