DIY Thread Spool and Wood Bead Garland for Christmas

Learn how to make a DIY thread spool and wood bead garland for Christmas using vintage wooden spools of thread, wood beads, and twine!

Cut a section of twine for your garland's string.
Tie a loop at one end.
Wrap the end of the twine in tape to make it easier to thread through the holes in the beads and spools.
This twine is thick, so if it started to unravel, it had trouble fitting through the holes in the wooden beads.
I wrapped the end of the twine in a little bit of packing tape to create a "needle" that would be easier to push through the beads.
Begin threading wooden beads and spools of thread onto the twine string of the garland.
You can add them in a random order, or a repetitive pattern; it's up to you.
I chose to do a random order, and I tried to space out the colors from the thread spools throughout the garland.
Once you have added all the beads and thread spools to the garland, tie a loop in the other end of the twine.
Remove the tape from the end of the twine, or cut it off.

Check thrift stores for vintage thread spools. You can also find them on eBay or Etsy.
You can do a repetitive alternating order of bead/thread/bead/thread, or you can vary the order and do something more random.
Regardless of how you add the beads and thread spools, distribute the color throughout the whole garland so it is balanced.
