My Mom made a simple one for my kids by simply using some pretty Christmas
fabric, and sewing on 24 jingle bells far enough apart to hang mini
ornaments on each bell, from the first to the twenty-fourth. It is simple
and the kids love it.
I have three teenagers that still hound me to get that thing up NOW and get
it going!
They each have a small tin that I put 24 chocolates into, and another tin
holds the ornaments.
It is on a wooden dowel with pretty ribbon and lace and it hangs on the
wall.
~KK in BC~ who will scan a picture of it when she gets some more time.
