This project took our designer about 15 minutes to finish, but as always, for a beginner it may take longer. The cost of this entire project is a little under $43, but for only the cost of the two jingle bells and the poinsettia (about $10) you could make two! Because we cut the garland shorter, you can even use it three times. If you're not into earthy tones quite as much, we also have some white-trimmed options for you, including the Chevron Ribbon and the Merry Christmas Y'all Ribbon. If you went that route you could also incorporate this Jingle Bell Garland instead of the two rustic bells. Play around with different styles until you get just the right look you want! We have hundreds of styles and colors of Deco Mesh and Ribbon to choose from on our website.
