St Patrick's Day Beaded Garland

So let's get crafty this St. Patrick's Day: And create a 'Lucky Beaded Garland' with a Tassel!

What You'll Need:

· Green, gold, and white beads (choose from acrylic, wood, or glass in different textures, sizes and finishes)

Green, gold and white paint, if you prefer to hand paint wooden beads.

· Thin strong wire (46 inches/ 117cm in length)

· Scissors

· A card tag and letter stickers to spell out fun words like 'Lucky'

Or you can use the Lucky word fonts.

· twine for crafting the tassel

(you can add some thin ribbon too if you like).

Make a U at one end of the wire, and proceed threading the beads in a pattern you like.

Then bend the wire end into a second U.

Set aside.

I handpainted my wooden beads with green, gold and white paint.

Wind twine around your hand about 15 times, and slip it off.

Tie one end tightly with a thin ribbon to make the top of the tassel.

Cut the bottom loops and trim the tassel ends.

Carefully unbend one of the U loops on the bead wire.

Attach the tassel you've just crafted to one end of the wire.

Use a Dollar store green card gift tag.

Stick the letters L.U.C.K.Y to it, using small font stickers.

Or save and print the fonts, choose one to cut out and glue on to the tag.

Your lucky beaded garland is now complete!

Whether draped across a mantel, adorning a door frame, or used as a cheerful centerpiece on a table, coffee table, or sideboard. this garland will sprinkle some delightful charm throughout your home this St. Patrick's Day.
