DIY No Sew Jingle Bell Garland

See how I made this DIY No Sew Jingle Bell Garland in this easy step by step tutorial. This easy project makes a beautiful addition to your Christmas tree.

Our Christmas tree this year is one of my absolute favorites. In the past, we have always used a tree and ornaments that my mother in law handed down to us right after we got married. Don’t get me wrong, I was/am so thankful that we were able to use all of it while we needed it, but I was ready to start collecting a bit of my own Christmas tree decor.

Today I’m sharing the DIY No Sew Jingle Bell Garland that I wrapped around the tree. It’s such an easy project, just like my jingle bell strap, but I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

Here’s how I made it:

I started with 2 rolls of mesh ribbon from Hobby Lobby and a pile of muslin, which I ripped into 2 inch strips…

First, I unrolled the mesh ribbon and placed the muslin strip in the middle…

Then, I just hot glued the two together and kept adding the muslin strips to the ribbon…

Once I had the two rolls completed, I rolled them back up and placed a rubber band around them. The next day I added the jingle bells, which I bought at my local craft store.

I rolled out the mesh ribbon and added a dab of hot glue to the side of the jingle bell…

Then I just pressed it onto the center of the muslin fabric…

I spaced them about 3 inches apart and kept hot gluing them onto the fabric…

Once I had them all glued on, I wrapped it around our tree.

Such a simple project with absolutely lovely results!

I love how the antiqued finish of the jingle bells contrast with the muslin fabric…

But I really love how the lights still shine through the burlap mesh…

And even when I don’t want to wrap the garland around our tree every year (a girls gotta mix it up!), I can still think of so many ways to use it!

In the mean time, I’m enjoying evenings curled up on the couch with a cup of hot tea while I admire the tree. It’s the simple things around here…
