DIY Woodbead Window Garland

I’m here to share something really cool that I did over my windows that added so much charm. It’s a DIY window garland that I’ve been wanting to do for what seems like forevvverrrr. And I finally did it!
I’ve had this window garland project in mind for over a year and I’m really not sure what took me so long to do it. I originally mentioned it when I put up my drop cloth curtains. Actually, I do know what took me so long. I wasn’t looking forward to making the wood bead garland. But then I found some for a great price that was already made and that’s what finally gave me the motivation to get this project done!
I purchased 3 strands of wood bead garland to cover 3 windows. Each window is 35″ and each strand of garland is 72″ long. I cut each one in half to make a total of 6 strands. If you’d like to make your own wood bead garland, I have a tutorial HERE.
Mallary at The Feathered Farmhouse had such a great price on her wood bead garland that I decided that was a much better option for me.
After cutting them, I tied a hoop on each end of the 6 strands.
Next, I placed 4 command hooks at the top of each of the 3 windows that I planned to hang the beads from. Take the measurement of the inside of your window and divide that by 3 to know how far apart to space your command hooks.
I hung 2 strands of the garland in each window.
I absolutely love the statement it added to my windows and I can’t believe I waited this long to get this done.
What do you think? Is this something you would do in your house? I’d love to hear your thoughts below.
Enjoyed the project?

Have a question about this project?
This is one I have never seen before, so thank you for sharing. It looks great. I have an off topic question for you. I couldn't help but notice there is something different about your drapes. The inner edges look like there is some sort of drop shoulder hem or something. It looks very interesting, and I love them. Could you elaborate at all? Please? 😄
Love the curtains. Are they drop cloths?
I think that those beads look great! I’m gonna try it on my windows because they are so wide and go all the way to the floor almost! I can’t wait to try it!
