What is The best Bead To use.
There are many sizes of wooden beads to use to make this wooden napkin ring. I prefer the large wooden bead. “Its look nice and very easy to make. There really isn’t any rule on what kind of bead to use. You can use anywhere from 8mm to 16mm beads. they can be glass beads to wooden beads.
I recently made a necklace with jade beads and it required 60 beads total. So it’s obviously the bigger the bead the faster the project.

How To Make Wooden Bead Napkin Holder
- You will need a oyster shell. I already drilled a small hole in it and have painted the edges gold. You can use a drill to make a hole and paint the edges with gold paint.
2. Take the hemp and with a big eye needle pass it though the hole of the oyster shell. Gather both ends and tie a square knot.
3. With a big eye needle take one side of the hemp and pass it though the first bead. You can use 10 12mm beads to make the napkin ring.
4. String about 5 wooden beads each side.
5. After you string all the beads tie a square knot. The knot won’t show when you put it around the napkin.
6. After you tie the knot. Cut the strands from the hemp.
Now you have this beautiful napkin ring that is ready to be placed around a pretty napkin. You can use any color of napkins you like. I have these pretty blue print that truly makes the napkin ring look gorgeous.
What are the best Bead String to use.
I used regular hemp for stringing this napkin ring. But the best is polished hemp, because it ties easier than the thick hemp. You can hide the knot inside the bead hole. Using Fire lining is another good option.

Your ideas are lovely and I did go to your blog to check out your candle holder and was pleasantly surprised. Beautiful. I must caution you when using hot glue. In heat and if outside it can soften and all your hard work may come apart. I would still use it but go back and use a good epoxy or fast setting glue that does not get affected by weather. Even a clear caulking would work. :)
