All the bells are very frequent in the house entrance since this way we know who enters the house or not. In this way, we make a decorative gadget for the home but with a clear use, in addition, with those made by ourselves, it will not cost us anything expensive.
With reusable materials like small pipesWe can make these so decorative bells to decorate, also, any corner of the house where we want to hide something. In addition, it is a simple craft that we can do with children.
Materials
- Clay putty or modeling pastes.
- Flat wooden pallet.
- Cup.
- Small diameter pipe cutouts.
- Pipe cutter.
- Rope, twine, leather, etc.
- Alicante.
- Clay varnish.
- Acrylic paintings.
Our Process
Firstly, we will mold the clay until smooth and easy to mold. Then we will take two portions, one larger and one smaller, which will be the tube (large) the upper part of the bell (small).
Then we will do a cylinder which we will flatten until we form a thin rectangle and a circle that we will also flatten. We will cut the ends of the rectangle to give it more shape and we will give it a cylindrical shape with a glass, and we will smooth the parts so that the cuts are not seen.
Then, we will round and slightly lift the entire surface of the circle to fit inside the cylindrical tube. We will smooth and mold with our hands to form our bell. With the wooden pallet we will make a hole in the upper part.
Next, we will take the tubes and we will cut them to size that we want. Afterwards, we will arrange the ropes and we will make some knots, leaving a little length at the end. We will introduce this end inside the pipe and crush it with the pliers so that it is well fixed.
Lastly, we will paint our bell and we will give it varnish when it dries and then we will put it in the oven to harden. In addition, we will introduce the rope through it so that we can hang it.
