This project is great for holding up heavy ornaments on your Christmas tree and for stringing up stockings. It’s a great project for beginners and almost any fabric can be used.
Materials:
- Rebar tie wire ( You can get this at Lowes, Home Depot etc… It’s inexpensive and comes in single rolls).
- Cotton quilting fabric torn into 1 ½ inch strips. (You can purchase 1 yard of fabric and tie strips together).
- Contrasting fabric torn into ½ inch strips to tie bells onto garland.
- Bells
Step 1.
Cut wire to desired length and bend one end of wire over and attach fabric strip with a knot. (see instructions for tearing fabric strips below. ). Begin wrapping being careful to keep the fabric tight over the wire. When you reach the end tie a knot and bend the end of the wire to secure.
Step 2.
Slip a ¼ inch fabric strip through bell and attach to wire at various intervals with a bow.
Fabric strips: Use lightweight cotton quilting fabrics in 1 yard or longer lengths. These can be torn into almost any width and will tear evenly from almost any good quality quilting fabric. I tie the long pieces together with knots and then roll into a ball for storage.
