Bead Garland with Flowers

Last Spring, I created a pretty bead garland with yarn tassels. Garlands are a quick and easy way to add style to an item or space. You can toss a garland across a mantel, bowl, jar, or even use it to add a little pizazz to a door knob. This spring, I wanted to create a garland that had a bit of spring bohemian flair. The beads and florals create such a great boho vibe perfectly combined for spring.

How to make a Bead Garland

Thread a needle with fine yarn.
Thread yarn through 4 or more beads depending on the overall length desired for the garland. I opted to reduce the beads by one after each set of flowers, but you can choose a pattern that works for you.
Be sure to thread the flowers in the same direction. I placed them upside down and hid the stem inside the hole at the top of the bead.
Continue adding beads and flowers until you have the length desired. Then, thread the yarn through the top of a tassel and back into the last flower or bead to tie a knot. This will secure the garland from the bottom.
Cut of any excess yarn and hid the knot inside a bead. Snip off the excess thread at the top of the garland and secure with a knot.

This garland was super easy to make and adds a pretty boho vibe to my door knob. It also looked great as a colorful accent for the stair railing. Where would you place this wooden bead garland with flowers?
