DIY Decor Bead Garland

in DIY & Home Decor on 06/22/20

Has anyone else seen those fun wooden decor bead garlands in boutiques and in stores like Target’s new line with Studio McGee?? Well instead of spending $30 on one strand, I created this tutorial so that you can create five or more for the price of one! This is a simple craft that you can get your kids involved in and the end result is some pretty neat decor 🙂 Checkout the full tutorial below:

2- Start Stringing

Take the end of your string and use a piece of scotch tape to tape around the end of the string. This will create a stronger end so that the beads string easier. Determine your pattern and get to stringing!

I recommend creating your bead strand about 18-30 inches long. It all depends on your heart’s desire 🙂 Once you have strung all the beads you want, leave about eight inches of string on both ends and cut the string.

3- Tassel Time

Time to make the tassels! There are many ways you can do this but I think this is the easiest and quickest. Start by making 6-8 inch loops with the string like the image below:

Once you have made about 5-8 loops, cut the string at one end:

Fold the loops in half and tied onto the end of your bead strand like below:

Make sure the knot is nice and tight! Repeat on the other end of your bead strand.

Confused about how to tie the knot? Check out my video below:

I have found this is the easiest way to tie the tassels onto the bead garland, but have seen many other ways! So experiment with it!

4- Finish the Tassels

Cut the the loops of the tassels:

Now is your time to admire your creation! Decor beads and bead garlands are all the rage right now in home decor. So do yourself a favor and get to stringing!!

Bedrooms are probably my favorite spaces to decorate because I love giving my clients a room where they can relax and feel at peace 🙏  If you think about it, you go to bed and wake up in your bedroom EVERY SINGLE DAY.  If the space doesn't make you happy that means you are starting and ending your days in a negative state of mind... Who needs that? No one 😉

Home Decor PSA #4 (Yesterday was #3 I messed that Home Decor PSA #4

(Yesterday was #3 I messed that up🤦🏻‍♀️)

It's ok to choose function over beauty sometimes! Actually, most of the time😜 Your home isn't just for pictures on Instagram, it's where you live so sometimes choosing a specific layout, a more durable paint color, or a certain fabric for your sofa is just what you have to do!

For example:
1. You may choose carpet in your living room  because your kids love rolling around and wrestling.
2. You choose a darker paint color because having light colored walls stresses you out with three kids🤪
3. The most comfortable sofa may not always be the perfect looking sofa 😊

If you use some creativity the functional option might also be the most beautiful 😊

In this photo, swivel, comfortable counter stools were a must for my client! Comfortable✔️ Swivel✔️ Still looks beautiful ✔️
