Instructions

  1. Use natural twine to attach brass-plated bells to a spray of cedar, which ups the pretty factor and buffers the door to keep the chime gentle (not jarring).

  2. Wrap the stem and twine with grosgrain ribbon, leaving a loop at the top for hanging, and tie it above the bells in a no-fuss knot.
