Easy Farmhouse Wood Bead Craft Idea

Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I have been creating a farmhouse Christmas decor for the past couple of years in at least one room. It’s a very cozy, natural vibe so I keep coming back to it year after year.

This little bead wreath ornament is easy (ridiculously so) and the charming style it adds to a Christmas tree or a wrapped gift is too cute to pass up. I had a friend who saw them and immediately yelled out, “I’m going to make them and hand them on wine bottle gifts!” Good idea, sis.

Tips to Make Wood Bead Ornaments

I used this set of wooden beads to make our farmhouse wreath ornaments, but you can go bigger or smaller. I think smaller ones look great on presents while the bigger ones are amazing on a door wreath (add felt backing so it doesn’t scratch doors or cabinets).
This Christmas ornament wreath is pretty versatile. To make a modern farmhouse ornament, paint some beads navy or gray. For a traditional style, use natural or stain the wood beads any shade of brown.
There are a couple of ways to get an even coat of paint on the wood beads. One is to slide them onto a wood skewer and use a paintbrush. Another is to put the beads into an empty water bottle with a little paint and shake (dry on skewers).
I have a bag of ribbon scraps I use for projects like this. You don’t need a lot of ribbon to make a small bow for these.
Use the extra wire from the twisted end to make a hanger or tie on a piece of twine for a little more rustic charm.

Below is the written and printable tutorial for this fun wood bead craft idea. Put on some Christmas carols or listen to a good book while you work on this easy Christmas ornament idea.

If the little ones want to work on the same project, pipe cleaners make a great stand-in for the floral wire. You can also give them a small plastic needle to use with yarn or twine.

Farmhouse Bead Wreath

This wood bead ornament wreath makes a perfect farmhouse Christmas decoration or an adorable package tie for a gift. Grab any style of wood bead and let's get started.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Active Time 15 minutes

Total Time 20 minutes

Difficulty Easy

Estimated Cost $3

Materials

14-18mm Wood Beads (natural, painted, etc.)
Jewelry Wire (or twine, wired twine, etc.)
¼-inch Wide Buffalo Check Ribbon
Wooden Skewer
Optional, Acrylic Paint in Light Green

Tools

Wire Cutters
Paint Brush

Instructions

If you want to paint the beads, slide them onto the skewer or place some paint in an empty water bottle, add the beads, and shake. You might need to apply a second coat but let dry fully before moving on.
String painted beads onto a 10” length of jewelry wire.
Twist the wire together tightly where the beads join. The wire should be very tight so the beads do not slide. Twist the ends of the ends together to form a hanger.
Tie a small bow with long tails and tie or glue it to the top of the wood bead wreath.

Notes

You can make multiple natural wreaths and painted ones in multiple colors to use as ornaments or gift decorations.

You can use twine as a hanger if you’d like to add a little bit more rustic to the ornament – just tie it on after twisting and snipping the strung wire.
