The ringers... version 1.1

I made a rough draft of the ringers/ornaments for the wedding. The idea is that each guest will get one of these to usher us away from the day with. I'm picturing everyone lined up on two sides ringing the jingle bells on our way out and then taking them home and putting them on their tree for the season. They have to be functional yet beautiful. Sounds fun huh.


Right now they consist of the snowflake charm, 3 nine mm silver jingle bells and a little tag that will thank them for coming and and probably have a picture of us or our KJ monogram on them tied with sheer white ribbon and they'll pick them up out of a bucket that will tell them of our wishes to be rung out, or quite possibly I will have Ros and Mikayla (my super fantastic flower girls) pass them out to everyone? just not sure what the best option is...

anyway, here's the prototype, what do you think? any bright ideas from my crafty cohorts?

Cute! I can't tell if the snowflake is in the middle of the bells or not - but it might stand out more if you put the snowflake on one side or the other so it set apart and seen (since it is so adorably cute!!) But, they are cute as is also!

yeah, I need to try it a couple ways, the bigger jingle bells dwarfed my snowflake so I went smaller but still, I wonder if I go snowflake, white tag, then bells behind if it will look better and be more effective? love trial and error!

Have you thought about tying knots beteen each item you place on the ribbon? I absolutely love these! What a great idea!
