Hi Guys!  How is everyone’s week so far?  I’m just loving that crisp in the air right now.  We are in the sweet spot before it gets too cold but it’s still kinda warm and the sun is still out.  Ahhhh.  Love it.  How’s fall decorating coming along?  Mine is getting there slowly but surely.  I still have a few things to do and I keep saying this but I have to get to that pumpkin patch.  Last week I did a post on trendy decor items and one of those items was bead garlands (or bead strands).  I just love the chunky texture they bring to your rooms.  You can just lay them on a table, or in a tray, or on a lamp and boom.  Style.  I find them interesting and they are so so easy to make and inexpensive too.  Interested?  Follow this tutorial for a DIY wood bead garland.

Materials Needed

 

Ok so here’s what you need to make this DIY wood bead garland.  I bought everything except the scissors off Amazon.  And obviously the basket has nothing to do with this  🙂

You will need some jute twine, wood beads (20mm)and scissors.

Tutorial

Take some jute string and wrap it around your hand several times.  I wrapped it 15-16 times.  This is going to create the tassels on each end.

When you are done wrapping your loops, take more jute string (I didn’t cut it off yet – just continued with the same string), and wrap it tightly towards the top of the loops.  Then tie it in several knots to secure it.

Now you want to cut off the excess from where you secured it and also cut the loops at the bottom.  Tada!  Tassel.   You are going to want to make 2 tassels – one for each end of the garland.

Next, you want to take a long piece of jute string and secure it to the top of the loop of the tassel.  String it through the top loop of the tassel and tie it tight.  This is the end of your garland.  Make sure to have a looooooong piece of string attached.  You can always cut off the excess at the end.

Now just string your beads!  It’s up to you how long you want to make it.  The bead package comes with 30 beads and that actually makes for a pretty nice strand.  I used 37 beads exactly.

Once you are done stringing your beads on, you simply attach your 2nd tassel to the end and secure it with a knot.

Another snow day for us so I won’t be getting much done around here again 😩😬😂 I did manage to sprinkle some Valentine’s Day flowers around - with carnations! Super cheap and they always last a long time for me.  Hopefully tomorrow we’ll be back to our regular schedule. 🤞🏻 🙏🏻 75 5
Sunday Funday! I thought today would be a perfect opportunity for another little intro post from me to you. ⠀ 113 20

Love seeing our house in the snow! But I can’t wait to open up these doors in the summer and have a parrrrtay! Who am I kidding? I’m too tired to party anymore.  I’ll prob be sitting out here reading a magazine.  And eating. 🙄#truth⠀ 97 4
