    How to Make Wood Bead Garland Tutorial

    Sort beads and decide which sizes you want in which color.

    Mix 1 part white/cream paint with 1 part water in a large bowl (or you can use a paper bowl or a paper plate that has higher edges). Pour in all of the beads that you want to make white and roll them around until they’re completely coated in paint.

    Wooden beads inside a glass bowl. Being rolled around in white paint.

    Cut a 12” piece of tie wire and make a couple of bends at one end. The first bend will stop the beads from sliding off the end and the second bend will be your hook.

    One by one, pick the painted beads up with the straight end of the tie wire and thread them onto the wire. Stop when you have about 1-2” left on the straight end and bend it to make a hook.

    Hook the beaded wire between two sturdy drinking glasses to dry.

    Repeat steps 2-4 with each new color of paint and its corresponding beads.

    Allow the beads to dry completely. (A blow dryer helps if you just can’t wait!)

    Strings of painted beads in two shades of gray and white.

    To make your jute tassels, start winding the jute around your hand, over and over. The wider you spread out your fingers, the longer your tassel will be. (I wound the jute around my hand 14 times.)

    Jute twine being tied into tassels.

    Remove the jute loop from your hand and tie a 24” piece of hemp around it by sticking one end of the hemp piece inside the circle and tying it into a very tight knot around all of the jute strands. Leave a tail of hemp about 1 ½” long.

    Cutting one end of the jute twine to make the tassel

    Cut the loop end opposite of where you tied the hemp, trim any uneven

    Then take another 12” piece of jute and wrap it around the top of the tassel over and over (about ½” from where you tied the hemp) and secure with a knot.

    Securing the tassel at the top

    Paint the 12” wrapped around jute piece with your medium gray paint; let dry.

    Painting the knot at the top of the tassel gray

    Make a second tassel but don’t do step 8, you will tie it onto the hemp after all of your beads are on.

    String painted beads on in whatever color pattern you like. Tip: to avoid unraveling, smooth a little school glue on the end of your hemp stringer before you start!

    Once you have the garland to your desired length, tie the extra hemp end onto your second tassel. Leave about an inch of slack so you can make gaps in your garland for draping over things.
