Rustic Jingle Bell Garland Ideas

If you’re lucky enough to have a vintage set of sleigh bells on a leather strap, are you using them? Vintage sleigh bells make the easiest and most rustic jingle bell garland ever. Just hang that strap up anywhere you want–but if you hang them on a door you can enjoy their pretty sound anytime someone goes in or out.

Here’s another set of vintage bells that possess a rustic charm all on their own–you don’t have to do anything to them if you like them as they are. To find something like this, visit Etsy to see some amazing examples of vintage jingle bells. Believe it or not, you’ll also find vintage jingle bells at Amazon!

If you do purchase some vintage bells like these from Amazon, you get to string them yourself to make a rustic jingle bell garland. And there are a lot of great choices. Use pretty cord, chain, or even rope to string your jingle bell garland.

We love the idea to string your jingle bells on a length of LED fairy lights and add small red gingham bows. The red gingham adds a unique rustic touch that screams Christmas. If you don’t like red gingham, it’s easy to choose a different fabric or design.

Red jingle bells are strung on rope, along with pine cones and twine bows. Love the pairing of gleaming red bells with the rustic textures of the rope and the pine cones.

There are so many ways to string a rustic jingle bell garland for your home this Christmas. Come back and share your ideas with us! Before you go, check out our post on Rustic Farmhouse Christmas DIY decor.
