Have you even seen those nice beaded curtains? You’ve probably seen them in stores, but maybe you couldn’t find one that fit your style. Here is how to make your own beaded curtain.

Materials:

• 1 – 1/2 diameter wooden dowel that is long enough to fit over the top of your door frame
• 1 roll of embroidery floss or beading line
• Lots and lots of assorted beads of your choice
• Nails
• Hammer

**You may need an adult to help you nail the dowel above your door.

What to do:

1. Cut enough embroidery floss to hang all the way down your door way to the floor. Cut enough of these pieces to tie all the way across the dowel. An average sized door frame will take about a 2 or 3 foot long down and about 15-25 strings depending on how close together you want your strands of beads.
    
2. Tie the lengths of embroidery floss to the dowel so that they hang down. Each strand should hang down the same length.
    
3. String beads onto the strands. You can completely fill the strands, or, you can add beads here and there and tie knots to hold them in place. When you finish stringing the beads, tie a box knot at the bottom to hold the beads on.
    
4. Hammer nails above your door frame. Place the dowel on these nails above your door.

ENJOY!!!
