ðŸŽ¨ L. STYLING / ASSEMBLY / STABILITY / FINAL SHAPING

1. Preparing the Hanging Cords Cut five lengths of jute twine, each roughly 18 inches long. Tie all five strands together with a sturdy overhand knot about 6 inches from the top. The top loops will form your main hanger.

2. Assembling the Crocheted Bells

Thread one strand of the lower twine through your large-eye needle.
String one natural wood bead, then one red wood bead onto the twine.
Pass the needle down through the top MR hole of the Burgundy bell.
Tie a bulky knot (or multiple knots) inside the bell, large enough that it cannot slip back through the MR hole. Trim the excess twine inside the bell.
Repeat this process for the Cream and Forest Green bells on two other strands of twine, varying the twine lengths slightly so the bells hang at slightly staggered heights.

3. Assembling the Metal Bells

On the remaining two twine strands, thread one natural wood bead and one red wood bead.
Tie the metal jingle bells to the ends of these strands. Adjust the knots so the metal bells sit slightly higher than the crocheted bells, nestled between them.

4. Assembling the Bow

Lay the two Bow Tails flat, crossing them slightly at their wide ends (Row 26).
Pinch the Main Bow Loop exactly in the center to create the bow creases. Place this pinched center over the crossed tails.
Wrap the Bow Center Wrap tightly around the pinched center of the loops and the top of the tails. Using the long yarn tail, stitch the center wrap securely closed at the back, anchoring it through the tails and loops so everything stays firmly in place.

5. Final Attachment

Place the assembled bow over the large main knot in your jute twine hanger.
Using a yarn needle and cream yarn, sew the back of the bow securely to the twine knot, ensuring it doesn’t slip down the cords.
âœ… Alignment: Ensure the two metal bells are visible between the three yarn bells.
âœ… Silhouette: Gently shape the crocheted bell skirts with your fingers so they flare evenly.

ðŸ’¡ M. HELPFUL CROCHET TIPS

ðŸ’¡ When threading the twine through the crocheted bells, if your MR hole is too tight, use your crochet hook to gently widen the center stitch.
ðŸ’¡ Adjust the twine lengths before making your final knots inside the bells. Tape the whole assembly to a wall or table temporarily to step back and check the balance.
ðŸ’¡ If your bow loop feels too floppy, slide a small piece of folded felt inside the loops before wrapping the center to give it permanent volume.
ðŸ’¡ A drop of hot glue inside the top of the crocheted bell (on the twine knot) can add extra security and prevent the beads from sliding around.
ðŸ’¡ Working the final bell round (R13) in BLO slip stitches creates a subtle, neat ridge that mimics the rolled edge of a real metal bell.

ðŸ§¼ N. CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Store flat in a dry box. Do not crush the bows beneath heavier ornaments.
Spot clean the yarn gently with a damp cloth if necessary.
Do not submerge the ornament in water, as the metal bells may rust and the wooden beads may swell or bleed color.

â“ R. FAQ

â“ Can I use a different yarn weight? Yes. If you use a bulky yarn, your bells and bow will be significantly larger, making this a great wall hanging or door decoration rather than a standard tree ornament.

â“ My bell edges are curling inward. How do I fix this? If R13 is pulling too tight, your slip stitches are too firm. Try re-doing R13 with a hook one size larger (e.g., 4.0mm) to ensure the lip stays flat and flared.

â“ Do I need to stuff the bells? No stuffing is required! The stiff tension of the worsted weight yarn keeps them hollow and perfectly shaped.
