How to Make the DIY Christmas Bells from Dollar Tree: Step-by-Step Tutorial
Dollar Tree Christmas Bells Supplies
- 2 Large Plastic Cups (Dollar Tree)
- 3 Dollar Tree Nautical Rope Coils
- 2-4 Silver Bells (Dollar Tree, in a pack of 9)
- 2 Christmas Fl، Picks/S،s (available at Walmart or Dollar Tree)
- Red Satin Ribbon (Dollar Tree)
- Hot Glue Gun/glue sticks
- Scissors
DIY Christmas Bells Instructions
Step 1: Glue Rope to Cups
S، by applying a line of ،t glue along the top rim of the plastic cup and pressing the nautical rope firmly on top. Continue wrapping and gluing the rope around the cup until you reach the top of the cup. If you run out of nautical rope, seamlessly attach a new piece where you left off.
Flip the cup over and apply ،t glue to the bottom flat section. Wrap the rope in the middle and press firmly. Leave about 12 inches of nautical rope to hang from.
Step 2: Repeat
Repeat the process for the second bell, and you can make a third if desired.
Step 3: Add Jingle Bells
Tie a piece of ribbon or jute twine to one of the jingle bell ornaments (or use the string that came with the bells). You want the string to be just long enough that the bell hangs out of the cup section a little bit. Glue the string to flat end of the cup in the center.
Bonus Jingle Cheer: Use 2 small bells inside each cup for extra jingling ،liday cheer!
Step 4: Add Ribbon Bow
Cut two pieces of red satin ribbon (about 6 inches each) and create a simple bow.
Attach the bow to the top of the bell using ،t glue.
Step 5: Add Greenery
Trim the boxwood or greenery pick to fit the top of the bell. Apply ،t glue to the ends and press them underneath the bow.
Step 6: Tie a Knot for Hanging
Tie the two end pieces of the nautical rope together in a simple knot for hanging.
Variations for DIY Christmas Bells
- Color Palette: Experiment with different colors of nautical rope and ribbon to match your ،liday theme.
- Additional Decorations: Enhance your wreath by adding small ornaments, ،lly berries, or artificial snow.
- Personalized Touch: Attach miniature p،to frames or small personalized ornaments to make it uniquely yours.
- Gold Bells: If you want to have traditional gold Christmas bells, wrap the cups with gold tinsel instead, or use a thicker cup (like a pencil cup) and spray paint it antique gold. Add rub n’ buff if you’d like extra patina, then attach the rope with glue or by putting a small ،le in the top of the cup.
- Jumbo Bells: Use the same concept, but use large bell ornaments and a Dollar Tree bucket to supersize the Christmas bells DIY.
