Vintage Wash Wooden Bead Garland
Make a garland of wooden beads as an on-trend accent with DecoArt Vintage Effect Wash™.
Supplies:
Vintage Effect Wash™: Patina (DCW10)
Other supplies:
paper towels
scissors
craft paintbrushes
wooden dowel rod (optional)
jute
wooden beads (pre-drilled; number of choice)
plastic lid (large, i.e., ice cream bucket)
INSTRUCTIONS
1 Paint the beads with Patina. Wipe back excess paint with a paper towel for a stained look.
2 Use a wooden dowel, if needed, to assist in painting the entire area of the bead. Let dry.
3 Thread the beads with jute.
4 Make jute tassels and tie to the ends.
HELPFUL HINTS
While the beads are drying, it's helpful to have something to gather them in to keep them from rolling away. I used the lid of a plastic ice cream bucket.
If you are having trouble threading the beads on the string, grab a piece of Scotch tape and wrap the ends of the string to create a stiff end.
