If you’re looking for a totally magical Stocking Filler for children, a simple Christmas gift for a Secret Santa, or something to offer at the school Christmas Fair, we’ve got the perfect suggestion … a Polar Express Christmas Bell. Not only does it jingle just like the real thing, but it’s super-sparkly and comes direct from the North Pole and Father Christmas’ Sleigh! And if you attach a Polar Express Christmas Bell Tag to it too, it becomes a gorgeous homemade Baby’s First Christmas Gift too!
And so, because all of us at International Elf Service love Christmassy bits and bobs so much, we’ve made these Free Polar Express Christmas Bell Tags printable so you can make them at home and enjoy them too! Just follow the instructions below!
You will need:
- Medium or large sized Silver Jingle Bells (we used 40mm ones)
**Remember to get a true believer to check they all have a jingle first! - A4 White Card (we used 300 gsm, but 220 gsm may behave better in a home printer!) or matt photo paper.
- Printer
- Scissors or a Guillotine
- Hole Punch
- Candy Cane Ribbon or Bakers Twine, or even natural jute twine would look lovely.
- Free Printable Polar Express Tags, found HERE.
Historically, our youngest has always struggled with the noise and bustle of our school fairs, which are always exaggerated by the end of the week when he’s most tired.
Usually, after a quick whip round the fair at the speed of light (not forgetting his beloved visit to see Father Christmas) he asks to go home … approximately 17 minutes after it’s started.
But I’ve had a light bulb moment this year … he’s older and is finding things much easier than he used to (doesn’t everything to do with children seem to go in phases?!) so … I thought he (with me as his overly-excited-about-Christmas helper) could run a stall!
We’ll have so much fun together.
So … my getting-older two children and I designed and made these International Elf Service Polar Express Christmas Bell Tags. If you’d like to use the Free Printable, to make your own Christmas Bells the printable is HERE.
