How to Crochet Christmas Bell Ornament With Holy Sprig
I am here with a new Christmas bell idea, this time with one of two popular Christmas leaves. Today’s tutorial will teach you how to crochet a pair of decorative Christmas bells with a Holy Sprig or poinsettia leaf ornament designed by Baochi so beautifully. The core design of this Christmas bell set is the same as the one I previously shared, which is: two large crochet bells with a common string and a decoration in the middle of the join.
A special feature is using a thin wire to make the leaf easily poseable for a more realistic look. You will just love the red and green color combo, unlike the usual yellow ones. So, crochet one for decorating your Christmas tree!

The tutor has cleverly used skills like picot stitch to make the leaf of this Christmas bell life-like. There is also an option to attach a keyring with these Christmas bells, as the size falls between medium and small. There is more to like in this design, like the round 3D center part and the white stripes.
So, if you have made up your mind to crochet this new Christmas bell variation for beginners, continue reading this post till the end. There you will find the complete tutorial.
Know the designer: The designer of this Christmas tree bell ornament for Christmas is @baochihandmade – she has designed just so many home decor crochet items with step-by-step guides for beginners. She has also published multiple Christmas projects like the Christmas Poinsettia plant,
which seems to be the successor of the Holy Sprig Bell ornament, Christmas tree ornaments, and more. Similarly, you will find many flower projects and amigurumi ideas.
