The bells are about quarter inch - they look great to me. How about holding a 5p piece and your pipecleaner over the screen to see how it looks?Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed.

With regards to the bells - it would depend what you plan to do with them. I have stuck the smaller ones onto the pipecleaners with double-sided tape but to be honest didn't work out too well as kept falling on. I have seen some lovely ones made with a bigger bell tied onto the ribbon.
As for the googly eyes I find the ones from Wilkos quite cheap (in with kids craft section) 70p for a bag - although half of them maybe too big.0 -

gosh, I am dumb sometimes:rolleyes: I just read the listing carefuuly and it does say they are about 6mm, so I have got a ruler out and had a look and that looks about right for attaching onto a pipecleaner.Would 8mm be big enough? Or would THESE be big enough? They seem like a good price but look very tiny next to that 5p!
I have just bought them- 100 for £1.99. They are coming from Thailand so hopefully they will get here before christmas! :rotfl:I may even ebay the surplus afterwards. get a few pennies back
Total cost currently= £3.74
cost per reindeer (henceforth CPR!)=37.4p0 -
Where does everyone get their bells from?Best wins in 2013 £200 and Mini iPad. 2014 no wins. 2015 2 nights 5* hotel with £300 vouchers plus £1150 Harrods gift card
