There are so many beautiful options for vintage decor, and DIY Christmas bells are one of my favorites. In order to stay on budget this Christmas, I was able to create a vintage look with two different sets of bells from Amazon.

How to Decorate with DIY Christmas Bells

The use of vintage bells in holiday decor is a charming option. These beautiful ornaments can be hung in a variety of ways, allowing you to add a unique touch to your festive decor.

For example, you can hang them from your fireplace, adding an elegant and nostalgic feel to your living space. You could also incorporate them into wreaths, creating a stunning centerpiece for your front door.

Vintage bells can also be used to add a touch of elegance to your Christmas baskets or placed on your Christmas tree, creating a classic and timeless look. With so many ways to use DIY Christmas bells, you can easily find a place for them in your holiday decor.

DIY Affordable Options

I found some affordable vintage-looking bells on Amazon, but they were brass and too gold. I wanted to find a way to darken them and make them look vintage.

Using Behr decorative wax, I quickly created an antique look to match my holiday decor. This simple technique takes minutes. You will want to check out the step-by-step instructions below!

Instructions

How to DIY Christmas bells (vintage inspired)

Step 1:

Take your brush and dip it into the decorative wax. Stipple and brush the wax onto the bell with quick movements. To avoid any mishaps, I always put parchment paper on the table.

Step 2:

Use a paper towel or rag to remove excess wax, toning down the gold and giving the bell an aged look. Let dry for 30-60 minutes before decorating.

Step 3:

Make your home stand out this Christmas with stunning DIY Christmas bells. Choose your own ribbon and add a personal touch to create a unique and memorable decoration.

I found this project to be incredibly easy to do, and I absolutely love how the bells complement our holiday decor.

In other projects, I have used Behr decorative wax to tone down some gold frames and as part of a DIY vase makeover. It is a product that you could use over and over in your home.

I highly recommend trying out this DIY decor for yourself!
