Jingle Bell Garland

I saw this post over at Cozy. Cottage. Cute.  and fell in love with her pretty white garland.

I did my own version several weeks ago.
Though I'll admit it took me a while to get done. I only worked on it while I saw with Little man watching 'Diego' so it was in the works for a few days.

I picked up some packages of bells at the Dollar Store- I think I ended up using about four.


I only wanted to do silver and red bells together so rather than pick up the green and red packages they had, I just spraypainted a couple packages of silver bells.

Not perfect. But they were pretty :)


Then I got the world's longest strings of twine and cut three of them.
I wanted them to go all the way around my kitchen cabinets so they were LONG.

Really... all I did was tape the end to my table and then start braiding.
Easy in theory...but the twine kept getting tangled up so I had to go carefully.
Every eight inches or so I strung a bell into it and kept braiding.


I love how they look strung above my cabinets :)


Simple but perfectly festive.


I'm also in love with my sparkly star from Pier One that my mom surprised me with :)


Hope you like!
What last minute Christmas things are you doing today?

    Just wanted to say that your garland turned out realllllly cute. I love the red bells that you painted.

    Wasn't braiding that twine a pain in the butt??? Hahaha.

    Hope you're having a lovely holiday.

  4. It is critical to compare the costs of each studentsassignmenthelp reviews offered before settling on the one that best fits our budget and provides the finest possible service. To summarize, it is important to use a paper writing service because not everyone can succeed in all areas.
