How To Make A Beaded Curtain

Strings of beads hanging from a frame is what a beaded curtain is. Whether to separate spaces, dress up a doorway, or add a bit of whimsy to your décor, these curtains are really easy to make. The basic materials required for making a beaded curtain are 1.5-pound nylon twine, a frame, seed beads, crimping beads, crimp tool, scissors, and a measuring tape.

Firstly, decide the length and width of the curtain you want to make. Keep in mind that you will need twice as much twine or cord as the length of the curtain you want. Calculate the number of strands you want to hang using the width. A good spacing between the strands is about 1.5 inches. Once you know the number of strands, cut the twine or cord into equal lengths, double what you want the length of the final curtain to be.

Now it's time to start stringing the beads. If you want to use a pattern or add unique accents, now is the time to do it. Insert a crimp bead onto the center of the twine, move a few seed beads up to the crimp bead, and crimp it in place. This bead will be attached to the frame later. Now you can start adding seed beads to the twine. You can either create a random pattern or make a design. Once you have added all the beads, crimp another bead at the end of the twine to secure them.

Repeat step 3 until all the strands are ready. When all the beaded strands are ready, it's time to attach them to the frame. There are many different ways you can do this depending on the type of frame you are using. You can use small nails, screws, or glue to attach the strands to the frame. If you are using a wooden frame, you can drill small holes and thread the twine through the holes. Once all the strands are attached, your beaded curtain is complete.

Beaded curtains are an easy way to add a personal touch to your home décor. So get creative and make your curtain today!
