Wood bead garland is a beautiful decor element that you can add anywhere in your home. Personally I love the beaded garland during the holidays, but I’ve even seen them used as keychains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nice thing about this DIY project is that ANYONE can do it. Even my eight year old niece created an adorable garland for her bedroom while we were working on the last craft project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from the beads, you probably have all the project supplies already in your home. For this craft I used acrylic paint, but next time I think I’m going to try a chalk spray paint to make it go quicker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only downside of this craft is that it did take me about 2 hours to paint all the beads (I gave each bead 3 coats of acrylic paint). I found when using a dark color, like red, I needed to go over it multiple times because the wood from the bead was bleeding through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the wood bead garland I made (pictured above) I used the following acrylic colors. White, red (but I mixed the red with a drop of black paint to get it a deeper color, natural beads, and champagne metallic. I highly recommend adding a metallic paint color<\/a> to your garland as it gives it such a pretty shimmer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also dilute your acrylic paint with a little bit of water to give it more of a transparent finish. I recommend doing this if you want some of the natural wood to bleed through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prefer multi-size wooden beads to give the craft more dimension, but you can use the same size and use variations of color instead. (Or do both like I did!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon sells packages of beads in various sizes<\/a> so you don’t have to buy multiple packs. <\/p>\n\n\n
