Things Needed:
- Gold,
silver, or any color of choice, package of seed beads, available
at Artbeads.com - Your online bead store

- Beading
wire
- Cord
for hanging (I used red)
- 2 small jingle bells
- Small
piece of ribbon for bow (I used red)
- Scissors or
wire cutters
1.
Thread seed
beads on the beading wire until you have about a 2 foot length of wire,
full of seed beads. At the ends, secure the wire by knotting or
wrapping the wire several times around the last seed bead.

2.
Start wrapping your length of wire back and forth to form rows,
approximately 13 rows. The first row should be about one inch in
length, then have each row get a little longer until the last row is
about 2.5 inches. It will look funny and won’t stay together, but once
you get past step 3 it really begins to take shape

3.
Cut two lengths of wire, about 6 inches each. Take one wire, and begin
on one side. Thread the wire through the last seed bead on each end of
the row. This will hold this entire side together. Wrap the wire, or
knot it, to keep it in place and cut off the excess. Then, repeat the
process with the other wire on the other side. You should now have a
bell shape


4.
Thread two jingle bells through another small piece of wire, and wrap
the wire around the bottom middle of the bell. Add a cord for hanging
and a ribbon tied in a bow at the top
