Bell Template
Print a bell template for free. Choose a classic Christmas bell with a clapper and a loop at the top to hang it by, a round jingle bell with its slot, two bells and a bow to glue together, a bell with a bow, 2 holly leaves and 3 berries, or the bow and holly on their own. Set the height from 2 in to a full page (7 1/2 in on one sheet), or a big bell up to 36 in tiled over several sheets, and fill the sheet with small bells for ornaments, gift tags or a class. Type names to print one on each bell. Print the outline to colour, or a colour version in gold, silver, red or mixed colours. A check square shows the print is true size.
