Here’s an easy way to fill up a large wall. A few people asked about the beaded wall art from a photo of my old apartment in yesterday’s post, so I thought I’d share the instructions with you. It’s an easy craft project!
You’ll need many strands of beaded garland (I used 18), an inexpensive café rod, and a little bit of paint and a paintbrush.
Take the café curtain rod and paint it so that it blends in with your wall color. You can prime it first if you’re worried about the paint sticking, but this is not a heavy duty piece so it should be fine without primer. String the garland on the curtain rod, attach the brackets to the wall, and hang your creation. Easy!

Fabulous idea. Perfect home staging art.
Is the garland looped over the rod and tied? I don’t get what’s holding it in place. It’s a cute idea that would work in my very neglected guest room.
Mine had little rings on the ends, but you can just tie them in loops or tie them directly to the curtain rod.
What a great idea. I am also loving the red credenza, where did you snag that lovely piece?
It’s the IKEA PS cabinet, for sure. I know that because my comment was going to be whether Nicole would recommend it! I’ve had my eye on the white version for a long time and am considering taking the plunge…
Yes, it’s the PS Cabinet. Emily, go for it!
A bit 70’s but nice.

Love it…very easy and very cool!!
Great idea!
I’ve noticed metallic bead curtains like these used in displays at the mall. I like the way you used it, but I also think a thicker bead curtain could make a great room divider for a studio apartment! It would create the illusion of separation but it would be easy enough to pass through and would still allow you to see enough of the next room to keep the space feeling open.
So simple yet unique and effective! What a great way to decorate your walls.
