Now we're going to create the handle of the bell. The way we do this is we're going to
be using our pipe cleaner, and first we're going to take the pipe cleaner, and run it
through the top bead. And this is going to help us keep the handle of the bell attached
to the string of the beads that are inside. And that's how the string of beads is going
to be attached to the bell by way of the handle. So, I run the end through the top bead, and
I just let it out enough that I can twist it around, and keep it secure. You can cut
the edge off if it's hanging out. It might have a sharp point to it, so you want it to
lie flat. Now we take the other end that's left, and we put it through the top of the
cup, in the same hole that we made in the beginning when we were decorating it. And
we see that the beads hang down, and we see also that they are very visible when you look
at the bell. So that is why they were decorated, even the ones that are inside. We wanted to
decorate all the beads, because it is very noticeable, and stands out when looking at
the project. So, we run it through the top, and we let it hang out, and that is going
to be used as the handle for the bell. Now, the handle still needs to have some work done
to it. Next, we're going to finish off the handle, and decorate it a little bit more.
