Stamp Set Showcase Week 23 (1) 25 Days Advent Countdown

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle All The Way ....

Today I have a super 3DJingle Bell Bauble Christmas Wreath

Now I know I usually make my projects from 100% Stampin Up Products, but I promise I have used one of Stampin Up's Luxurious Ribbons, that gives the finishing touch to the project. And After All, how can you have a door wreath without a stunning piece of Ribbon?

You will need the following Products ...

A polystyrene Circular Wreath Blank

A Hot Melt Glue Gun and plenty of Glue Sticks

And Approximately 100 assorted round gold and bronze Baubles

AND 100 assorted jingle Bells.

And finally, you will need that 5/8" Gold Satin Ribbon.

This is really simple to make and took me about and hour to stick everything onto the polystyrene ring.

Start by removing the caps from the top of the baubles.

Begin by using the largest baubles, and using your hot melt Glue Gun, stick the large baubles around the outside of the ring in zigzag manner that will help to keep a random appearance on the finished product,

Then repeat with the medium sized baubles, and lastly, add the smallest baubles, keeping that randomness of the design, and you can also adhere the small baubles onto larger baubles to obscure some of the gaps.

You will still have a lot of gaps, and this is where the jo

jingle bells come in,. Again, use your glue gun and start sticking the bells into all the remaining gaps. They make a subline christmas sound as you are making the wreath,

Finally, using the Glue Gun, make a long Loop from the ribbon and use your glue gun to adhere the ribbon to the the card blank,

All that is left for you to do, is to find a place in (or outside) your home to Hand your Jongle Wreath.

You want it somewhere that the jingling sounds will be heard as people brush past.
