I measured the length I wanted and added about 8 inches to make up for the tying of the bells. I purchased pretty colored cord from the fabric store that would fit through the bells I purchased also at the fabric store. Fold the cord in half, loop it over your door knob or handle or hook whatever the case may be and take both sides of the cord and make a single knot that joins the cords together making a loop.Then I tied the bells down the cord where I wanted them adjusting the length so there is a bell on the bottom. Repeat process on the other cord and your're done. Under 5 bucks. Good luck I hope this made sense.
