How to Make A Wood Bead Garland Photo Holder

I was inspired to make this adorable garland after seeing a similar style in a home decor store. It was a little too pricey and I knew it could be made easily. So put on a favorite television show, or listen to some relaxing music and get ready to string some wood beads!

Instructions:

1. Tie Off Knot

Gather the twine and tie off a large knot at one end:

2. String Beads

Start adding the wood beads to the twine. For the size I wanted which was about 48″, I used 44 wood beads. When you get to the last bead, tie another large knot to secure it. As the holes are rather large, you will need to wrap the twine around a few times so they don’t fall out-ask me how I know this :). There is nothing worse than picking up rolling beads, especially when you have a feisty cat chasing after them!

3. Attach Mini Clothespins

At this point, hang the garland up so you can see where to add the mini clothespins. I just used thumbtacks to secure them while I evenly spaced the clothespins.

I used 8 clothespins so I spaced them out about every 4 beads. Just tie twine around the end of the clothespin and secure it to the twine of the garland.

4. Attach Photos

Now you are ready to add photos, post cards, pretty Valentines, anything you like that will make you smile!

Wasn’t that so easy? The thing I love about making this, is there are enough supplies to make at least three. What a great gift these would make. You can change out the pictures for different holidays, or use it to hang cards or postcards. This will be perfect over my desk so I can look up and see pictures that make me happy!
