Wood beads are a popular farmhouse decor accessory.  See how easy (and inexpensive) it is to make a wood bead garland of your own!

Here’s what you will need to make this simple wood bead garland

• wood beads – I used these ones
• craft twine or thin rope
• scissors
• scrap cardboard

Tutorial

The easy part is stringing together the wood beads.

Making a tassel isn’t much more difficult.

Wrap twine around a piece of cardboard 6-8 times.  Remove the twine, and pinch it in the middle, folding the loop of twine in half. Secure the middle of the loop with the end of your wood bead garland.

Wrap the tassel with more twine, and secure with a knot. Trim the ends of the twine loops.

How cute does this little garland look on a glass jar that was a (major) score at a discount store?!!?
