Equipment
Fluid Art Acrylic Paint
Plastic cup
Disposable Spoons
Ingredients
1/2yardJute Twine
25Wood Beads
2Pastel Yarn Tassels
Instructions
Add the first paint color to the plastic cup.
Slowly pour in a little bit of the accent color. Don’t mix the paint, just slowly tip the cup around so the paint starts to blend.
Add wood beads into the plastic cup with the fluid art paint. You can add quite a few, but leave enough room to allow the wood beads to move around.
Use a plastic spoon to remove the wood beads and place them on a paper plate, or parchment paper.
Use another plastic spoon to lightly drizzle white paint on top of the wood beads for an extra touch to the marble look.
Let the beads dry for about an hour.
Tie a large knot at the end of the jute twine.
String the beads onto the jute.
Make a tassel by wrapping the yarn around your hand about 20 times, until you get the size that you want. Use scissors to cut the top of the yarn wrapped around your hand. Tie a piece of yarn about 1/4″ from the top.
Tie the tassels to each end of the garland and your beautiful wood bead garland is complete!
