How do you make beaded curtains?

Hello all, does anyone here have experience making a beaded curtain? I’d like to make one L shaped to run the perimeter of two walls and although I have the concept in my mind I don’t know what to buy that will attach to the roof as well and hold the cascading beads in place? Any leads would be much appreciated!

    You need two strong wooden batons. Drill some tiny holes equally spaced at the top. Measure down from where you are going to position them. Use a strong clear fishing line, longer than required to allow ease in threading it through the holes in the baton and for knotting. Add beads to the line until required length. Knot at the bottom, then add a small bead, then knot again. Push the top through the hole, add a small bead and knot again. Add glue to the knot to stop it coming undone. Keep going. Fix to the wall with screws.

    Yes. To bead anything permanently you need twine, beads and experience tying knots and braids.

    You definitely are going to need to research that before you attempt to complete any online project.
