Instructions:
- Cut the thread/floss/wire into equal-sized lengths
(if you're covering an open doorway, make the lengths
almost touching the floor)
- Glue one end of all the lengths to the dowel rod (you
need to glue the end on the opposite side of where the dowel
will show. So if you glue the dowel against the wall, the
ends of the lengths will not be showing). Allow glue to dry.
- Holding one thread at a time vertically, string the beads you
want on the thread. (In our diagram, we chose four colors
and repeate them. You may want to get creative and have
a pattern forming through all the threads. Add more threads
as you need.)
- Either knot the string/thread or tie it around the last bead.
Or glue the end to the last bead and allow to dry. With the
wire, simply wrap the wire on itself above the last bead.
- Now glue the dowel to the door frame or wall.
- Variations include using different sized/shaped beads, forming
patterns (like stars, diamonds, hearts) with all the threads,
adding little flowers on the tops of the strings where they hang
from the dowel, cover the dowel with filmy material.
