Beaded Curtain – Day #235
So you’ve made tons of paper beads because you just can’t stop making them! What do you do with it? My answer to this dilemma is to make curtain or a wall hanging. Here is a beaded curtain idea. I made them all uniform and coordinated but it does not have to be. You can string beads at random and put left over beads in between and it will come out like a work of art.
I am still working on creating a studio with paper bead curtains and screens, but time is a luxury………:(
Paper Bead Curtains
I finally got the courage to take on a bigger project- PAPER BEAD CURTAINS! This is where friends and extra helping hands come in handy. I thought that an undertaking like this would be good if shared with others, plus it makes you finish your curtains faster. Each strand is individually strung and you make enough strands to fill a door way or a window. I made the strands 72 inches long, of course you can make it in whatever length. I made the pattern simple with just the regular tube beads and the small round beads, you can make it all tube beads if you like.

Here’s the finished curtain, it can certainly use more strands, I think.
Part 2 of the video when we were hanging it up!
We had fun trying to figure out how we were going to tie it, on which side…..
I love how it rustles when as you go through it
I know how big projects can be intimidating sometimes, I thought so too, but we actually had fun making it, we were so eager to see the results, that in itself was a big motivation. We just transformed our doorway from ordinary to extraordinary!
