Painted Wood Bead Manzanita Branch

Remember that time we had a wood bead painting party? Well…it wasn’t an actual party. It was more of a virtual shindig. If you missed it, the party is still going strong right here. Personally, I’m partial to the ombre and fruit ones. What about you?

As much fun as it is to paint wooden beads, there comes a point when you wonder…what the heck should I do with these?! For quite some time, I kept mine in a bowl on my desk. Sort of like little treasures. I still have a heaping bowl of them but I was compelled to come up with another crafty way to display these pretties…enter the Painted Wood Bead Manzanita Branch. I snagged this branch from West Elm on sale and gave it a Damask Love makeover (i.e. lots and lots of bright colors).

So, grab your glue gun, some wooden beads and steal a branch from your neighbor’s tree. Craft is in session.

This painted wood bead manzanita branch is a funky take on the beauty of nature! A crafty way to use your painted wooden beads with a few basic supplies.

You’ll need:

  • a twiggy branch like this manzanita branch. I’m not sure that “twiggy” is an actual term for branches but basically you need a branch with lots of little arms and twigs.
  • painted wooden beads
  • craft glue
  • embroidery floss
  • a glue gun

Painted Wood Bead Manzanita Branch

Thread a bead onto the embroidery floss // place a bead of hot glue onto on of the tips of the branch (not pictured) // place the bead onto the branch tip // wrap the embroidery floss around the branch tip and when you’ve reached the end of the floss, use craft glue to smooth the end into place.

    Thanks for your thoughts. One thing I have noticed is banks plus financial institutions really know the spending behavior of consumers and also understand that most of the people max out their real credit cards around the holiday seasons. They properly take advantage of that fact and commence flooding ones inbox and snail-mail box with hundreds of no-interest APR credit cards offers right after the holiday season concludes. Knowing that for anyone who is like 98 in the American general public, you’ll rush at the possiblity to consolidate personal credit card debt and move balances towards 0 apr interest rates credit cards.

Just like other areas of technologies, video games too have had to evolve through many generations. This is testimony towards the fast development of video games.
