Christmas DIY: Jingle Bell Ribbon

In my world, when I come across an idea my first thought is not where can I buy that.  My first thought is usually ‘how can I make that?’

When I started thinking about my Christmas décor and began writing down ideas in my ideas book, I knew I wanted to craft a lot of what I’d be decorating with this year.

While at the Country Living Fair in October I spotted this burlap ribbon with jingle bells and knew I wanted to recreate the look for my tree.

While the look was a bit too rustic to fit with my style and color palette, I knew I could make a simple change and create a Jingle Bell Ribbon that was right for my Christmas decorations this year.

All it took was changing out the rustic brown bells for shiny red bells!

I haven’t started decorating my tree yet but I draped my Jingle Bell Ribbon on it so you could get a feel for how it will look.

As I walked around last night jingling my ribbon, my husband just looked at me, shook his head and said….It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Indeed it is!!

More Christmas DIY projects in the making so stay tuned!

To create your own jingle bell ribbon, just hot glue bells (purchased at Hobby Lobby) to burlap ribbon (purchased at the Country Living Fair) and jungle on!
