Cut the wire about 11 inches long. We found this was just the right size to be able to make a nice ornament sized wreath of bells. Without having to cut too much off at the end after tying it off.
Shape the wire into a crude circle. It doesn’t have to be perfect just in the general shape.
Then string the jingle bells onto the wire. We alternated a bigger bell with a smaller bell all the way around the wreath. Leaving about an inch at each end to tie the wire into a circle.
To tie the wire, I found the easiest way to do this was to bring the last bell on each side close together. Then twist both ends of the wire together with a pair of pliers. Be sure to make a few twists.
Then cut the ends short and bend the twisted wire in line with the wreath circle.
Over the twisted ends, to hold them down, I tied a piece of ribbon and then made a bow.
Make a loop to hang the ornament by taking a short piece of ribbon and making a loop and glue to the back side of the wreath, behind the bow. You could also use a wire ornament hanger instead of making a ribbon hanger.
