Experience the Magic of the Holidays by Making Your Own Christmas Bells Table Topper
One of our very favorite times of year is Christmas.
- The trees and holly berries
- The rich colors
- The great food
- The wonderful smells
- The sense of family
- And the sound of ringing bells
I’m not sure what it is, but I’ve always loved the sound of church bells ringing. Princess YellowBelly had to move headquarters last year, and we find ourselves now living on “church row,” there’s got to be at least four churches within our block.
And they all ring their bells for Christmas day.
In case you’ve never experienced this, it’s truly a magical, emotionally touching experience. It’s almost like being in a Hallmark card – so we naturally wanted to share that feeling and sense of seasonal beauty in the medium of fabric art.
To that end we created a distinctive new table topper/wall hanging pattern that we think celebrates the season of ringing bells in the best spirit.
This pattern can be used with any set of holiday colors that you like!
From our original panel we’ve created an easy-to-follow step-by-step guided pattern for the Christmas Bells Table Topper. With this pattern you can easily make your own Christmas Bells Table Topper, following the instructions (with accompanying graphics!)
Skill level is “intermediate” meaning you’ll find this easiest if you already know how to:
• Applique
• Use a satin stitch
• Handle thick trims & accessories
• How to cut out precisely
• Read a pattern from beginning to end before following the steps
• Quilt
• Sew on buttons
If you’re starting to push the boundaries on your quilting skills from beginner to intermediate this would be a great project, since it will be a learning curve – but a gentle and fun one.
The Christmas Bells Table Topper Pattern includes:
• Step-by-step instructions with accompanying graphics
• A master-template size 8X10
• A full-size hand-traced template for cutting apart
GOLDEN BELLS FINISHED TABLE TOPPER (132.45)
Or you can simply purchase one of our completed table toppers/wall hangings.
The first completed topper is the Golden Bells Christmas Table Topper. This one is five dollars cheaper than the silver bells since the silver bells required more material and time.
MERRY CHRISTMAS USA FINISHED TABLE TOPPER (137.55)
This is our silver, blue, and red Christmas Bells Table Topper. This one is a little distinct from the Golden Bells Table Topper because Merry Christmas USA is made with hand-cut holly leaves, and the blue bells are covered with glittery chiffon.
Otherwise the details are the same, trading out trims and colors.
Princess YellowBelly’s original Christmas Bells Toppers:
• Measure approximately 23 inches in diameter (allowing for variations in the uneven edge)
• Predominant colors on the Golden Bells topper are gold, red, and green
• Predominant colors on Merry Christmas USA are silver, blue, and red
• The Christmas Bells Table Toppers are round with an edge that’s trimmed to the “wreaths” of holly leaves to create an uneven edge
• Backed with black fabric
• Each panel will ship tagged or named
• Weighs very little
• Folds into a surprisingly small and flat package
• Is a vividly realistic custom table topper and wall hanging
The Christmas Bells Table Toppers were created using the finest materials available, including quilting batiks, thin warm and natural cotton batting, high-quality cotton and metallic threads, fancy buttons & ribbon trims, silk holly leaves, foam holly berries, and backing foam.
FINISHED TABLE TOPPER/WALL HANGING DISPLAY OPTIONS
Either of the Christmas Bells Table Toppers can be used as a table topper or a wall hanging.
We use regular household thumbtacks to secure our fabric art panels for display. They hold the panel tight and fabric is self-healing, once the tacks are removed the holes will close up again.
If you would like to discuss customized display options, please contact us directly!
The Christmas Bells Table Toppers are easy-to-care-for.
• Recommended care and upkeep with a lint brush
• Machine wash (cool, delicate cycle with a gentle detergent) if needed
• Can be tumble-dried, although air-dry is recommended
• May be cool-ironed (cotton settings) to remove packing wrinkles. Safe to iron with water or spray-starch
