25 Best Wooden Bead Garland and Tassel Tutorials | Homespun Threads
I have put together another fun list of wooden bead projects that I think you will love.  There are so many pins to pin on Pinterest that I thought I would take my top 25 favorite and just put them here for you.  Learn how to dye, color, paint, and stain the wooden beads for the look you desire.  You'll find a table of sizes that you will need for reference, a great source or 2 of where to find the "hard to find" beads and a ton of ideas on what to do with them around them home.  

As always, simply click description above each picture to visit the website that is featured.
