How to make a wood bead tassel garland

Measure and cut a piece of twine 14″ long. Fold it in half and tie a knot about ½” from the cut end.

Measure and cut 24 pieces of twine 8” long.

Stack the pieces together and fold in half and center the fold on top of the knotted end of the other piece.

Thread the looped end of the twine through a bead and hot glue the bead to the mass of twine.

Cut another piece of twine about 5” long and wrap it around the bulk under the fold.

Glue the ends in place to secure the hanging ends.

Thread the second bead and tie another knot just above the top bead to hold it in place. About 1” of twine should extend from the top of the bead for threading and hanging on the bead.

Try different styles of beads

One of the easiest ways to personalize your DIY beaded wreath is by changing the beads. Natural wood beads create a rustic farmhouse look, while painted beads add a colorful modern touch. You can also mix up bead sizes for added texture and dimension.

Experiment with tassel colors

Neutral tassels work beautifully for everyday home decor, but seasonal colors give your wreath a festive feel year-round. Try:

• White and green for spring
• Red and gold for the holidays
• Orange and cream for fall decor
• Black and metallic for a modern style

Make a mini garland

If you want a smaller project, make mini beaded beads for a tiered tray, coffee table, or gift wrapping. Short beads are also perfect as handmade ornaments or party decor accents.

Great Ways to Display Your Wood Bead Tassel Garland

Handmade beaded garlands are one of the easiest ways to add a cozy charm to your home. Here are some simple styling ideas:

Mantel or shelf style

For a soft layered home decor idea, drape your bead necklace over a mantel, bookshelf, or floating shelf. Pair it with candles, framed prints or greenery for a cozy finished look.

Tiered tray decor

Mini garlands wrapped around mugs, candles or small signs look attractive on a tiered tray display. These are especially popular for seasonal decorations and holiday accents.

Gift Decor Ideas

Use your handmade garland as reusable gift decor by wrapping it around a gift box or basket. It adds a thoughtful handmade touch and doubles as a gift.

Add personality to your home instantly

Whether you’re draped over a mantle, styled on a coffee table, or using your favorite textile scraps to create tassels, this easy DIY project is the ultimate budget-friendly way to achieve a high-end, boho-chic look. Perfect for a quick creative afternoon!
