Jingle Bells Wreath

I love how this wreath jingles when you open and close the door. So festive and inviting for friends and family for Christmas and Holidays.

Materials

A wreath
Jingle bells
Hot glue
Ribbon
Paper tissue

Instructions:

Wrap the wreath with paper tissue or you may use wide ribbon.
Stick the end at the back of the wreath with hot glue to prevent unraveling.
Stick the jingle bells to the wreath in a circle.
Now prepare a DIY bow.

How to make a perfect bow?

Start by making a wreath bow. The ribbon I am using is 2 inches wide.

Instructions:

1. Take a book about 8 inches high by the same width as the desired bow size.

2. Start 3/4 inch past the center and wrap ribbon around the book. Wrap 3 loops.

3. Slide loops off the book, pinch in the middle and hold between thumb and forefinger. Continue to wrap loops, slide off and pinch at the center until the desired number of loops have been formed.

4. In this case, there are only 3 loops. Now cut the ribbon. And wrap with a piece of twine or thread.

5. Cut another length of ribbon for tails and a piece of ribbon for the center.

6. Using hot glue stick all together at the center.

The wreath bow is complete. Now stick it to the wreath.
