Equipment

  • Hammer
  • Baking sheet
  • Wall nails

Ingredients

  • 1 lb clay in clay or any color of your choice
  • 1 string
  • 1 plastic tapestry needle
  • Assorted wood beads

Instructions

  • Roll clay into 1.5”-2” balls and poke a hole through the center using the tapestry needle.
  • Wiggle the needle around a bit as you make the hole so it’s large enough to accommodate the needle and string.
  • Bake beads at 275 degrees F for 10 minutes per ¼” thickness. Remove from the oven and cool.
  • Tie a big knot at one end of the string (large enough to keep the beads from sliding right off).
  • String polymer beads and wood beads onto the cord in a random order.
  • Once the entire length of the string is covered in beads, tie the two ends together with a triple knot.
  • Hammer 2 nails into the wall roughly 36” apart or at a length wide enough to hold your blankets. Our string is 80" long.
  • Hang the nails level with one another for a uniform look or at different heights to create a dynamic asymmetrical look.
  • Hang the bead loop on the wall and drape it with blankets!
