DIY Jingle Bell Burplap Garland & Winter Wonderland Christmas Mantel

Burlap ribbon is the easiest way to make a simple rustic garland. And in only 10 minutes!

To make a burlap jingle bell garland you’ll need:

• burlap ribbon
• red cross-stitch thread
• needle
• jingle bells
• scissors
• optional: adhesive like glue dots or Command Strips to attach to mantel

The steps are simple:

1. Measure – measure your mantel and then multiply that length by six. This will give you a decent estimate of how much burlap ribbon you’ll need. To that number, add 24 inches for each side and 36 inches for the center ribbon.
2. Thread – start 12 inches in and start bunching the ribbon in 2.5 to 3 inch increments
3. Hang and spread – hang the garland with adhesive and using your fingers spread each section apart roughly the same distance so you have the look above.
4. Embellish – add jingle bells to both ends and fold a bow with jingle bells for the center.

Did you see all the elements in my mantel? I created it for a project with HGTV and JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores.
