Jingle Bells go hand in hand with the holiday season! The ideas are really endless with all the fun crafts you can create with these gold jingle bells. Creating a DIY Holiday Jingle Bell Frame was so simple to make but it adds such glitz and glam to your seasonal decor! Plus, I can not help myself but to walk by and give it a gentle jingle to hear the lovely sound it makes! Be sure to download the Free DIY Holiday Jingle Bell Printable here! You can watch the tutorial on how to make the DIY Holiday Jingle Bell Frames here!

I used two wooden frames, gathered a few shades of red and green acrylic paint and gave each frame a solid coat of paint.

Using a contrasting but similar color of paint, grab your new pencil and use the eraser end to create a small polka dot.

I wanted all my frames to feel heavier on the bottom, so I added more painted polka dots at the bottom and gradually lessened them as I went up the frame. This gave them all a nice stippled and gradated effect.

Like the painted polka dots, I wanted to create a similar effect using the gold jingle bells. Using the hot glue gun, I added a very dense amount of bells to the bottom of the picture frame.

Download my free printables I made to fill your frames! I created a "Making Spirits Bright" print as well as a mistletoe print. Style a mantle, shelf or entryway table with your new frames as well as silver candle holders, extra jingle bells, a Christmas garland, and red or green hard candy sticks.
