How To Make Eco-Friendly Witch Bells | DIY Witch Bells

Written by Kate Curry

Witch bells have been used for hundreds of years to ward off negative spirits and are common to find in everyday homes. These bells will jingle whenever the door or window they’re hung off of are opened. The sound of the bells will let you know that someone is entering your space - both wanted and unwanted! 

Many Wiccans have some kind of spiritual chant to go along with their bells!:

“Little Bells on my door 
Let evil spirits come no more 
Guard my home from negativity 
Only let through good energy”

Thankfully, if you feel you need a little less negative energy in your space, these bells are wicked easy to make. 

Materials 

• A  hoop or a small wreath circle. I’ve seen other pagans use thick rope as well!  
• Bells 
• Yarn. I used a mix of our Sari Silk Ribbon Yarn and our Lace Weight Silk Yarn. 
• Scissors 

Steps

Step 1: Prep Your Yarn

Measure out how long you want your yarn strands to be and cut to the desired length. There is no specific length requirement, so feel free to go for different lengths! My measurements are:

Sari Ribbon Yarn in Pickled Pear: 14 inches long
Sari Ribbon Yarn in Vintage Ivory: 9 inches long
Sparkle Lace Weight Silk Yarn in Watercolors: 6 inches long 

Step 2: Thread The Bells

Thread your yarn/ribbon through the bell and pull it through so the bell is in the center of your yarn/ribbon.. Knot the two ends of the yarn or ribbon together

 

Step 3: Attach Your Fiber

Attach the ribbon to the circle with a simple loop.

  

Step 4: Add Some Texture

Give your circle some texture and fullness. I cut some more lengths of yarn and ribbon and used a reverse larks head knot to give the bells some more texture!

Step 5: Add Any Extra Bling You'd Like!

All done! You can add flowers, charms, or any other decoration to your bells to give it the look you want!  I also wrapped the yarn around the rest of the circle so it didn’t seem as naked.
