Simply thread your shoelace from the pack through the beads. Pick your pattern, we did small, big, small, big, etc. If you don’t have a Target closeby or these products are unavailable, no worries!

We snipped off the twine that holds the tassel then wrapped an easy knot around it instead so it hangs nice and pretty.

  1. …”accessory for your accessories” never thought of it that way. Love the bead garlands that are trending now, would love to make my own; but by time I get around to making them the trend will be gone, HA, life as a semi-procrastinator! So, I will admire yours and many others in the mean time.

  2. Love the bead garland and the ideas on how to use it around the house, and of course, I like the price! I might dye the smaller beads in beet juice to add a touch of color…

  3. I love this! The tassels make it so cute~I hope my Target has this too! Thanks for sharing!

  4. An accessory for my accessories…Lol! That is quite true.

    I like this set that you made since it is white, and it has a “natural” look to it.

    Also, I love the little colander you used to hold the beads. I have the same one…bought it at World Market for $2.99. There was no way I could leave it at the store! 🙂

    1. Seriously, Randi! Let’s give that inexpensive aqua colander a moment of decor silence: loooooove it!! 😀 And YAY for Target’s Dollar Spot!
