Make sure the jingle bell does not touch the top of the bell but it does touch right at where the bottom of the bell flairs out. Secure the yarn by weaving it through the first round of the bell. Make a loop at the top of the bell with the yarn then continue weaving to secure the end. Cut close to bell.
