3 Gently push up the centre of the flat coil , it will take a dome shape.Keep pushing up till the dome takes the shape of a bell.
4 Spread glue on the inner side of the bell so the coils firmly stick to each other.
5 A bead or a tiny round quilled coil can be used as the clapper .
The bell is ready and should be left to dry for sometime.
