Many years ago, Aunt Marie knitted little bells in red and green then added curling ribbon to create a corsage to be worn on a jacket lapel during Christmas. These sweet little bells can be used in lots of adorable ways.

Made in pink or blue they are perfect for baby shower favors. Add some faux leaves and silk ribbon for the Mom-to-be to wear as a corsage.

To make a wearable corsage, I stitched a pin back to the white bells.

    Sweet bells! I see that my attachment made it on Sunday. It was not until I restarted my computer that I was able to see it. Not sure what was going on. They keep us guessing!
