Question
I need a craft for a money raiser using brass colored 6 inch cow bells.  Thanks, Shirley

Answer
Hi Shirley,

Sorry for the delay in response I have been thinking about your question for a few days. I am not sure if these ideas will meet your needs, but this is what I have come up with:

-Make figures using the cowbells as skirts, you could use pipe cleaners and wire to make the top half.  Many craft stores have lots of dolls supplies that can help.  Or you could use the bells as the base of a sculpture.


-If the bells ring perhaps you could decorate them as fancy dinner bells, or fasten them to a door hanging as a welcoming piece.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck,
Ginger
