    How To Make Silver Bell Christmas Ornaments Using Jello Molds

    This post may contain affiliate links

    Make silver bell Christmas ornaments made using mini bell shaped Jell-O molds.

    If you’re a crafter it’s time to start working on Christmas projects and we have a ton of inspiration for you right here. My silver bell Christmas ornaments are made with mini jello molds, a template/stencil, white spray paint, and super simple hangers. We have 31 days of Handmade Christmas Ornaments ideas for you right here.

    mini bell shaped jello molds for Christmas ornament project

    I found the 3 bell shaped jello molds at a local antique/thrift shop. At $1 each they were a little pricey but I knew they were perfect ornament material.

    paper for craft projects

    I had these paper templates or cutouts or decorative papers in my junk stash. Not sure what to call them. The pad of templates came from Tuesday Morning.

    ready to spray paint a Christmas Ornament

    The bell Christmas ornaments are easy to make and take no time at all. I started the project by laying the paper stencil on the bell (hollow side down) and spraying lightly with white spray paint.

    Rustoleum Heirloom Satin Spray Paint

    And that’s it for the paint job. This is my first time to use spray paint on a stencil. I may have to try that again. Rustoleum Satin Heirloom White is one of my favorite colors. (find here on Amazon) Not too white and perfect for this project. Moving on to the hanger.

    supplies for handmade Christmas ornaments

    It took me a while to decide on a hanger for the bell ornaments. Ribbon seemed a bit heavy and the twine I had on hand was too thin looking.

    I tried numerous other materials but nothing looked right. After sleeping on it overnight I had a plan. I used the twine as a hanger and knotted a strip of ribbon around the twine.

    hot glue for hanger

    The only thing left to do was attach the hanger to the ornament. I used hot glue and held the ribbon/twine combo to the bell with a popsicle stick until the glue set. The popsicle stick is a finger saver. Sometimes I use tweezers but I couldn’t locate them in my newly organized workshop.

    The ornaments turned out so well I’m on the hunt for more bell shaped jello molds. If I don’t find any around town I know there must be some on eBay.

    Silver Bell Christmas Ornaments Handmade With Love

    I like the small repeating design above. The design looks a little blurred toward the middle of the ornament and that’s because the ornament had a slight dip in the middle. The flat surface is easy to bend out of shape.

    The flower design is pretty too. There are all kinds of small stencil designs that would work on the molds and no one says you have to stick to white spray paint.

    I’m thinking gold spray paint or even pale pink would be pretty on the silver background.

      That's the neatest thing. I will have to find something, maybe cookie cutters, to try the technique.

      Quick, easy and they look amazing. These silver bell ornaments are adorable Kathy!!
      I had a little chuckle about you not being able to find your tweezers in your newly organised workshop. That's always me when I do a big clean up.... sometimes 'things' need to be out on show so we can access them quickly.
      Happily pinning and sharing on FB today.
      Hugs,

      Kathy, how cute and clever. I love stencilling and have collected so many, I've lost count over the years.
