Materials

  • Burlap fabric (12×16 inches)
  • Cardboard or foam sheet (bell shape template)
  • Jute rope (2 yards)
  • Red gingham ribbon (1 yard, 1 inch wide)
  • 2-3 Faux pine sprigs and red berry stems
  • 22 Small pinecones
  • Two rustic jingle bells (1 inch each)
  • 10-112 Wooden beads
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Scissors and pencil

Instructions

  • Draw and cut a bell shape from cardboard, about 12 inches tall. This will be your base.
  • Cut a piece of burlap large enough to wrap around the shape, leaving about ½ inch extra on all sides. Then glue the edges tightly to the back of the cardboard.
  • Wrap the jute rope around the lower curves of the bell and glue it in place to add depth and texture.
  • Glue a strip of red gingham ribbon just above the rope for a festive accent. You next add a small pinecone cluster to one side.
  • Arrange faux pine branches and berries at the top of the bell. Secure them with hot glue and tie a red plaid bow in the center.
  • String wooden beads onto a piece of twine to form the hanging loop. Then attach it to the back of the bell.
  • For the finishing touch, tie two smaller jingle bells on a short piece of twine and glue them to dangle from the bottom.
