Rainbow Ribbon Bead Garland

I'm loving all the bead garlands that are currently trending, so when I received an assortment of appliqués and a Favor Pack of ribbons from Gwen Studios, I had to create a fun garland for my grand daughter....  This is my Boho version...

You'll need:

  • Gwen Studios Favor Pack - Rainbow assortment of 3/8' grosgrain ribbon
  • Gwen Studios Rainbow Appliqué x2
  • 5/8' White Beads - you will need 2 for each color of ribbon used plus 2 
  • White Cord 
  • Adhesive

Instructions:

1. Thread the number of beads needed onto the cord. TIP: Wrap the end of the cord with tape to make it easier to thread.

2. Cut a 4"- 5" piece of ribbon and tie onto the cord between the 2nd and 3rd bead. Continue tying pieces of ribbon between the beads as shown ending with two beads.  I used the colors of ribbon in the order they were packaged.

3.  Sandwich the end of the cord between the backs of the two appliqués.  They can be glued together with an adhesive, or, following instructions on the back of the package, seal with a hot iron and pressing cloth.  

 

4.  Make a loop at the opposite end of the cord then cut.


Use ribbon you already have on hand, or look for different, color coordinated Gwen Studios Favor Packs at your local Walmart store, or online at Walmart.com.

Enjoy!

Yours Truly,
Julie 💝

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON CRAFTING!

  4. Very cute idea. I see using beads that sparkle with ribbon for miniature trees. Finding cute things for smaller trees can be difficult
    Merry Christmas
