How to make a beautiful jingle bell ornament!

Here’s a simple Christmas ornament that can be made with just a few materials!

Supplies:

Medium-sized silver jingle bells (3)
Jute twine
Ribbon scraps
Scissors

Here’s what the jingle bells look like, along with a US quarter coin so you can see the size better. I found these at one of the big-box craft stores.

Step One: Cut out a long length of jute twine and tie a knot at one end. Thread it through the jingle bell. Repeat for the other two jingle bells.

The jute twine gives a rustic vibe to this ornament!

Step Two: Hold up all the jingle bells by the twine and decide how you want them to look when hanging.

How long do you want them to be?
Do you want them to be different lengths or the same?

Step Three: Gather the three twine strings — in the position you want them (from Step Two) — and knot them together as shown below.

Step Four: Cut ribbon scraps to thread through each jingle bell.

I used white chiffon ribbon:

Step Five: Tie each scrap into a knot.

Step Six: Cut the ends of each scrap so they are all the same size.

Step Seven: Tie a few ribbon scraps around the twine knot. Trim the ends of the ribbon.

And that’s it!

Now you’re ready to hang your beautiful jingle bell ornament!
