Easy Wooden Bead Garland
I have seen these beaded garland strands all over and didn't love the price tag, so I decided to make my own! I bought a big bag of beads so I could use the left overs for other projects and used some twine I already had. I love the way they turned out! Such a versatile decor piece that can be used all year round!
Materials Needed - not pictured scissors
These are the beads I ordered. It's a pack of 700 for $16. I made two strands and have a ton left over!
Here's the link for the beads -

I taped the ends so it was easier to pull through the beads.
Add desired amount of beads. I made two strands - one I used all the same size, the other I alternated bead size for a different look.
There are many different ways to make tassels. I made some this way and made them differently for the second strand I made.
Here's the second strand I made that I alternated bead size as well as stained. I love the way this one turned out.

I especially love your stained beads! This will make a perfect garland for a small artificial fir tree that we have in our house in the mountains. Thanks!!
