Make an Easy Rag Garland with Bells

Today I'm talking EASY Christmas decor!

If you've been around a while you may know that I love garlands, especially bell garlands. I string them all over my house! 

I'm creating a very easy garland and I'm taking a few short cuts! 

This bell garland is an easy and quick project that will look great hanging just about anywhere this season! 

Take a look...

So recently I made large bells from soda cans and they were a hit. 

Not only did they look like the bells you buy at the store, they were a great way to recycle!

Today, I'm taking a short cut. I'm buying the bells. A package of small brass bells that are adorable. 

I'm using them right out of the package but you could certainly white-wash them or give them an easy rust technique too. 

First I grabbed an old piece of drop cloth fabric and tore off about 5' of 2" strips. 

I strung the bells onto the strips tying a knot at each bell. 

In the center I tied the strips of fabric together.

I used a white jute to tie onto each bell to jazz up my garland just a little bit more. You could also use colored ribbons if you're a fan of color. 

Lastly, I had a resin star ornament that came with my latest thrift store find. 

I gave it the same awesome treatment that I gave my bell project and the star now looks just like the bells! 

I attached the star at the bottom of the garland and it jazzes up my garland even more.
