Start by applying a line of hot glue along the top rim of the plastic cup and pressing the nautical rope firmly on top. Continue wrapping and gluing the rope around the cup until you reach the top of the cup. If you run out of nautical rope, seamlessly attach a new piece where you left off.
Flip the cup over and apply hot glue to the bottom flat section. Wrap the rope in the middle and press firmly. Leave about 12 inches of nautical rope to hang from.
Repeat the process for the second bell, and you can make a third if desired.
Tie a piece of ribbon or jute twine to one of the jingle bell ornaments (or use the string that came with the bells). You want the string to be just long enough that the bell hangs out of the cup section a little bit. Glue the string to flat end of the cup in the center.
Cut two pieces of red satin ribbon (about 6 inches each) and create a simple bow.
Attach the bow to the top of the bell using hot glue.
Trim the boxwood or greenery pick to fit the top of the bell. Apply hot glue to the ends and press them underneath the bow.
Tie the two end pieces of the nautical rope together in a simple knot for hanging.
