Wooden beads are among the best materials for crafting: they are very eco-friendly, they can be used in lots of ways and they are very versatile as you can decorate not only boho but also Scandinavian, modern, vintage and many other spaces with them. How? Here are some ideas.
Wooden Bead Ornaments
The first on the list are wooden bead ornaments, and here you just need to turn on your imagination as wooden beads come in various sizes, shapes and colors and can be given a ton of looks. You can paint and wood burnt some beads before arranging them in a basic vertical pendant, you can make a wreath-shaped ornament, a candy cane one, a snowflake or a star piece. Basically, you can give your wooden beads any color and shape using not thread but wire inside them. All of these ornaments are great for various Christmas trees, from Nordic to farmhouse, and you can use them as gift toppers, too.

Wooden Bead Garlands
Wooden beads are a perfect material to make a Christmas garland, and the idea is basically the same as with ornaments: paint and decorate the bead and then put them on a thread to make a garland. I’d offer to use large beads of creative shapes to make the garland more modern, or to add other touches like cardboard trees, tassels and other stuff to make the garland rock. And of course wooden beads and tassels are a match made in heaven! These two are both sustainable and budget-friendly and look nice together.
