Unfinished Wood Bells: A Versatile and Affordable Craft Material

Unfinished wood bells are a versatile and affordable craft material that can be used to create a variety of projects, from this simple Christmas bell craft to more elaborate projects.

They are perfect for kids and adults alike, and they require no sanding or painting, making for quick and easy projects.

The bells are also a great way to add a touch of natural wood to your home décor.

Their simple, elegant design can be dressed up or down, depending on your style.

And because they are unfinished, you can customize them to your liking.

No matter what your skill level or budget, unfinished wood bells are a great way to add homemade creativity and beauty to your home for the holidays.

Buttons: A Cute and Affordable Way to Add Personality to Your Crafts

Buttons are a versatile and affordable craft material that can be used to create a variety of projects.

They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, so you can find the perfect buttons to suit your style.

In this project, I used muted vintage buttons to create an old-fashioned holiday look.

The buttons are easy to work with, even for kids.

I arranged the buttons in a simple pattern, but you can arrange them in any way you like.

Buttons are a great way to add personality and charm to your crafts.

They are also a fun and easy craft project for kids of all ages.

Choosing the Right Glue for Your Button Bell Craft

There are many different types of glue that can be used for crafts, but not all glues are created equal.

Some glues are better suited for certain materials or projects than others.

Regular white school glue is a kid-friendly, clear, non-toxic glue that is easy to use and dries clear. It is a good choice for general craft projects, such as gluing paper, fabric, and wood. However, it may not be strong enough to hold buttons securely on a bell.

Tacky craft glue is a thicker, more adhesive glue that is good for projects that require a stronger bond. It is also good for gluing materials that are difficult to glue with regular white school glue, such as foam and plastic. If you are concerned about the buttons falling off, tacky craft glue is a good option.

In my experience, regular white school glue was sufficient for my Christmas bells made with small, lightweight buttons.

I used it to make my own button bells several months ago, and the buttons are still securely attached to the wood.

However, if you want to be extra sure, tacky craft glue is a good choice.
