How many beads do I need for my garland?

The amount of beads you'll need depends on the desired length of your garland. A good rule of thumb is to use about 20 beads for every foot of garland.

What can I use instead of wood beads?

You can also try using other materials like glass or acrylic beads, though they will give a different look and feel to your garland.

Can I use colored cord instead of cotton?

Absolutely! Colored or patterned cords can add another layer of decoration and personality to your garland.

What if my knots come undone?

For extra security, you can add a little drop of hot glue to the knots after tying them to prevent any slipping.

How can I store the garland when not in use?

Gently hanging it up is ideal to prevent tangling, but you can also lay it flat in a box lined with tissue paper to keep it safe.
