A step-by-step guide to DIY a wood bead Christmas garland. Using unfinished wood beads this project could easily be painted or left as is for neutral Christmas decor!

Materials List

– Wood Beads in sizes 16mm/20mm/25mm – Wood Bead Kit – Jute Twine – Scissors – Clear Tape

To get started you want to figure out how long of a garland you need. For my strand of beads I only wanted to go 12 feet long.

How do you make a beaded Christmas garland?

Once, you have determined your length you can cut the twine and grab your first bead. To make it easier to strand the beads I took clear tape and taped around the end of the twine. That way the ends don’t fray and the beads slide on easily.

Next, take your twine and feed it into the hole of your wooden bead and secure it by tying a knot around the bead. To achieve this, pass the bead onto the twine’s end, leaving about 5 inches of string at the end of the strand.

Then, thread the twine through the bead once more to form a loop around it. With the remaining 5 inches, create a loop and tie it off, completing your garland.

It’s a wise decision to pre-plan your bead pattern. In my case, I opted to arrange the beads in the chosen pattern on our table.
