Instructions

    • 1

      Cut a length of medium gauge wire to the length you desire. The longer the wire, the larger your wreath bell will be.

    • 2

      Use your needlenose pliers to create a small U-shaped hook on one end of your wire. The hook will keep the bells from sliding off of the other end of your wreath.

    • 3

      String your bells onto the wire. Alternate sizes for a full appearance. If you use more than one color of bell, alternate the colors and sizes for a balanced bell wreath.

    • 4

      Fill the wire with as many bells as you can fit, leaving an inch at the end to close your wreath.

    • 5

      Bend the remaining end of the wire into a small U-shaped hook, then slide the two hooks on each end of the wire together. Pinch the ends tightly with your needle-nose pliers to close the U-shapes completely, securing your wreath bell.

    • 6

      Wind a length of ribbon around the bell wreath and tie it into a beautiful bow, which you can then use to hang your new holiday ornament.
