Susan

Beads and tassels are all the trend right now in home decor. This bathroom decor idea is both affordable and cute.

If you do not want to spend a lot of money or time to refresh your bathroom and give yourself a more put-together bathroom upgrade, this project is for you.

Beaded and tasseled bathroom decor is a fantastic way to add a personal touch to your bathroom. These crafts are relatively easy to make and can add a lot of personality to your space.

You can find all the supplies you need for these projects at your local craft store or online. And, if you’re feeling really ambitious, you can even make your own beads and tassels! Let me show you how below and as a bonus some bathroom refresh tips on a budget.

First, let’s cover how to make the beads and tassels before I move on to the extra bathroom tips, where I will be getting up close and personal to show you my awful before and tidy afters.

Supplies needed

Here are some ideas of how you could decorate with beaded tassels to accent in your bathroom.

  • A shelf
  • The wall mirror
  • Window fixture
  • A plain wall
  • The shower curtain
  • The edge of the garbage can (make to wrap the middle bottom or top edge or all three)
  • Hang on the toilet paper holder
  • Door knob
  • Cabinet handle
Supplies used in creating this beads and tassels project.

Step one: String your beads on the twine.

This brand of wooden beads is so great because you get 580 different-sized great quality beads at a great price on Amazon.I bought extra with intention of using them again in another project.

It even comes with a good amount of twine. For my project, I did not need to buy extra twine. You can make your wooden tassel design however you would like and get creative.

The beads come from all-natural wood, but you can paint them if you want to have color. I liked the natural wood look, so I left it as is, and this saved me so much time!

A tip to make the beading easier is to wrap the very end of your twine with some tape tightly. It helps the twine to glide right on through the whole without hang-ups.

There is something so relaxing about choosing the bead size you want and stringing it. The very simple activity is a great dopamine producer I have to say!

Step two: Make the tassels

Choose the color yarn you want. Wrap the yarn loosely around your fingers or a package. Keep in mind the size you will want your tassels.

Once you have acquired the size thickness you desire carefully remove your yarn.

Bunch and tie in the middle with some yarn for the final look.
