Unfinished wood bells: The perfect blank canvas for your next craft project 

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

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

Unfinished wood bells are also a great way to add a touch of nature to your home décor.

No matter what your skill level or budget, unfinished wood bells are a great way to add a touch of creativity and beauty to your home.

Buttons: versatile and affordable

Small buttons are an easy and affordable way to add personality and charm to your crafts.

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

The natural/earthy colors of the buttons I used coordinate perfectly with the unfinished wood bells, creating a rustic and charming look.

Buttons are easy to work with, even for kids.

The buttons can be arranged like mine or in any pattern you like, giving you endless possibilities for customization.

3 bottles of glue

Choosing the Right Glue for the Craft 

There are many different types of glue that can be used for crafts, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. 

Here are two of the most common types of glue used for crafts:

  • Regular white school glue: This 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.
  • Tacky craft glue: This 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.

Which glue should you use for this bell craft?

The buttons are small and not heavy, so you can use either regular white school glue or tacky craft glue.

I used regular white school glue when I made my craft, and it was strong enough to hold the buttons securely.

If you are concerned about the buttons falling off, you can use tacky craft glue instead.

However, I made my bells months ago using school glue and the buttons are still securely attached to the wood.

Where to Buy Craft Supplies Online

  1. AliExpress has a huge selection of jewelry making and craft supplies at super low prices – incredibly low prices. Plan ahead when you order, since shipping can take longer than US based companies. 
  2. Amazon also has a good selection of supplies and shipping can be very fast.
