This wreath measures about 6-7 inches in diameter but you can certainly make a larger one. I like this size because it’s perfect to hang in a small window or place in a bowl as filler.

It may look complicated to make but it’s quite simple. For a better look, check out the video and photos below!

How to Make a Jingle Bell & Ribbon Wreath – 3 Easy Steps

STEP 1: Cut Wire To Size

Cut the ends off of a wire hanger and use just the straight bottom part. You will need about 15 inches of the straight wire hanger.

String your ribbon onto the wire first by pushing the hanger through the center of the wire ribbon. Next, add a bell.

STEP 2: Weave Ribbon And Bells Onto The Wire

Continue weaving ribbons and bells in an under-and-over fashion onto the wire. Leave about 3 inches of ribbon between and fill up the wire. See the video above for a more detailed look at this process.

Note: Do not precut the ribbon, work off the roll and cut at the end to ensure you have enough to work with.

STEP 3: Hook The Ends To Form A Wreath

Cut then bend both ends of the hanger with pliers to make a hook shape. Hook the ends together and form into a circle by hand. To finish, add a decoration or floral pick to the top.
