String the wood beads in a pattern onto a piece of natural jute cording. I alternated mine between 3 large beads and 2 small ones, but you can choose what pattern you like best.

As part of your pattern add yarn pom-poms to give the garland added texture and style. Again, I used 1 large pom-pom and 2 smaller ones in my pattern, but feel free to play around with it until you find a pattern you like.
