Jingle Bell Fire Truck Ornament

November 11, 2015 By Kelly 21 Comments

Last week I saw a story online about the tree that was chosen to become the Rockefeller Center’s Christmas tree. The kids and I looked at the picture of the tree before it was cut down. My 6 year old son asked me how they transport such a huge tree. I asked him what he thought. He said that they probably tie the tree to a fire truck with a really long ladder. That was my inspiration for this jingle bell firetruck ornament.

This jingle bell fire truck ornament is part of the holiday edition of Craft Lightning (crafts that can be done in 15 minutes or less) and the Christmas Trees On Cars blog hop. Thank you to Aunt Peaches, 30 Minute Crafts and The Country Chic Cottage for hosting craft lightning this month.

Thank you to Malia of Yesterday on Tuesday for organizing the Christmas Trees on Cars blog hop.

Supplies

Supplies for jingle bell fire truck ornament

  • links in this supply list are affiliate links
  • Hot Wheels 5 Alarm Rescue Fire Truck
  • Loctite Super Glue
  • Merry Mini Joyeux Mini Trees
  • 5/8 inch wide silver glitter ribbon
  • large red jingle bell
  • wire cutters
  • stapler

Instructions

1. Use the wire cutters to cut the white base off the tree.

2. Cut a strip of the glitter ribbon about 1/8 inch wide and use it to wrap the tree around the ladder of the fire truck. I went through the rungs of the ladder and tied it off underneath so it wouldn’t be seen. Add a small strip of glitter ribbon to hang the ornament.

3. Add super glue to the roof of the truck cab. For this container of super glue, squeeze the blue sides to easily get the gel out.

4. Create a base for the fire truck to rest on with 4 strips of silver glitter ribbon. Take two ends of the ribbon and overlap it in the middle. Do this for all 4 pieces of ribbon and then staple the middle to make a bow.

5. Super glue the ribbon to the top of the jingle bell. Super glue the bottom of the fire truck to the ribbon. Let the super glue dry and hang the jingle bell fire truck ornament on your tree!
