This is really pretty! I'll have to remember it for next Christmas! I like it with the red ribbon, but I think red holly berry clusters might look nice too, for a slightly different look. The bells would also be really cute attached to a headband/ear warmer. I also like DebiBrien's suggestion to use these as gift toppers! It would add a nice personal touch to any gift!

I love all of your suggestions on things to use these crocheted Christmas bells on your mind works like mine. I love to see what all I can use a project on. I would love to use as an ornament too but problary would need to use a stiffiner on the bells. Have you made any yet? I am reading that they do not work up right. Any suggestions on why? I have not crocheted in a long time.

You could always do a drag and copy to get the full pattern. I do that a lot.

I may not do a wreath but these would make lovely gift toppers that can be used as a pin on a sweater as well
