I heard this week that there are only 11 weeks until Christmas! There is so much to do...
I have been pinning away, neglecting everything I am supposed to be doing, and came upon a fun set of vintage bells made from Christmas cards. Late last night I had to create my own.
Not perfected yet, but not bad considering I started this project at 10 o'clock at night. The originals were crocheted, I did a simple blanket stitch using enbroidery floss. The images I used were found on Pinterest
Below are the inspiration bells
I think these are so sweet, reminds me of something that my aunt made back in the 70's.
Next week I will show you my completed project.

They are very cute. I have a huge box of old Christmas cards and knew that one day I would find the perfect use for the.. Just may have found it.

Gosh, you did a really good job! I am in love with Pinterest. I get on there everyday and pin something, lol. Beautiful bell!!
11 weeks until Christmas!!!! The pressures on!
Your bells turn out adorable. I just love the idea.
These DO look like some ornaments I remember from the 60s and 70s! Great idea to use embroidery floss to put together, too!
