Are you ready to add a little bit of Boho style to a room in your house? Well, we have a DIY decor project for you! Learn how to make this DIY Wood Bead Chandelier using wood embroidery hoops and wood beads (lots of wood beads)! This is a decorative hanging wooden chandelier without the light bulb. Grab the kids to help you string the beads. This project would be a fun project for the entire family to help on!
Cut an 18-inch piece of fishing line and tie onto the embroidery hoop. You will need 36 pieces of fishing line.
Start beading! I made the pattern using a larger bead, then a smaller bead and so on. String 22 wooden beads and use tape to finish the end. You will tie the end to a smaller embroidery hoop at the end.
Get in a comfortable spot and get a show ready because the beading will take you a while! You will now bead 36 strands of beads. That is roughly 800 beads!
Now start attaching the ends of the bead strands to the smallest embroidery hoop. You will double knot these. I recommend adding a little glue to each knot on the top and bottom of the hoops. You can use a hot glue gun or quick dry tacky glue.
Now trim all of the fishing line to give the DIY Wood Bead Chandelier a clean and finished look. Then slide the outer larger embroidery hoop over the inside large hoop and tighten.
I used a small wood ring and tied 3 pieces of cording from the ring to the top of the large embroidery hoop. You will want to make sure these 3 pieces of cording are tied off at the same place so the chandelier can hang evenly. I cut my cording at 15 inches.
Hang the wood bead chandelier in a favorite spot!
