Jingle Door Alarm

Big Girl Bed = Freedom
Almost 2 year old + Freedom = Trouble
Big Trouble (post coming soon)

It has officially been 1 week of the big girl bed
And oh what a week it has been.

Now that Mackenzie sleeps in a big girl bed
she likes to get up and roam the house
at ungodly hours of the morning
while the rest of us are still sleeping.

So in an effort to hear her when she wakes up,
and get her before any serious trouble occurs

I made this jingle bell door alarm

Lots of jingle bells tied to different length pieces of ribbon
and hung over her door knob.

Now when she wakes up in the morning and tries to sneak out of her room
we get a little jingle, jingle warning.

Supplies:
-Ribbon
-Jingle Bells

Cut as many pieces of ribbon as you have jingle bells. I made mine all different lengths.

String one jingle bell onto each piece of ribbon

and secure at the end with a knot.

I also made a few of them like this for variety.
Just feed the ribbon through the bell and tie the knot at the other end of the ribbon.

Next cut a piece of ribbon big enough to go over your door knob when the ends are tied together. Tie the ends together making a circle. Then tie all of your ribbon pieces with the bells onto the circle of ribbon.

It should look something like this.

Hang over your door knob and
listen for your warning call.
