DIY: Wooden Bead Ornaments

12 Days of CHRISTMAS: Day 2!!! Like I said yesterday, there are still a lot of things we can do this year to bring the Holiday fun. It’s time to get your Christmas DIY on with these homemade wooden bead ornaments. Making homemade ornaments has been one of those things I have loved doing since I was a kid. I used to get so proud to bring home whatever creation I made at school to put front and center on the tree every year. My ornaments have gotten a little more sophisticated as an adult, but the fun of creating them is still there!

These wooden bead ornaments are so easy and fun to make and they look like you bought them. You can paint them any color you want or you could even leave them as natural wood. You can use leather top or thick string. There are so many options to make these your own.

See below for step x step instructions (with pictures) on how to create your very own wooden bead ornaments.

Supplies:

Wooden Beads
Wooden Beads
String or Ribbon – I used yarn, because I had some in my closet, but you could use anything that makes a fat enough knot.
Craft Paint (any color)
Paint Brush

Instructions:

STEP 1: If you plan to paint your beads, use craft paint to paint the beads with your desired color. I used Black, White & Gold. Allow to dry.

STEP 2: Cut a piece of yarn/string about 12 inches long. Make a loop on one end and tie a knot.

STEP 3: Add the smallest bead at the knot. Follow with the medium bead, then the large. Add the second medium bead, than the second small bead. Tie a knot at bottom of the smallest bead.

STEP 4: Hang on your tree and enjoy your handy DIY skills.
