DIY Jingle Bell Garland

Have you ever fell in love with an item or a piece of decor but refused to pay the price? I recently was shopping at a local boutique and fell in love with a Jingle Bell Garland, but for 5ft of garland they were asking $40. I knew I could make it cheaper, so I headed to my local craft store!

What you will need:

• Bag of Jingle Bells
• Thin Twine

How to make the garland:

• Purchase 60 to 100 bells depending on how large your tree will be. Make sure the twine you select can be easily threaded through the top of the bell.  
• Cut a length of twine twice as long as you require.  
• String a bell to the middle point and tie the twine in a knot. 
• String the next bell about 3-4 inches from the first and repeat until you are almost to the end. Do the same from the other end also leaving a bit of room on the end to put a loop to wrap around the branches.  
• I would recommend doing multiple strands to avoid working with excessive strands which can tangle.  
• To store your garland wrap around a piece of cardboard.

I put my garland on my Christmas Tree, but these can also be used on wreaths, garlands and other greenery.
