Instructions
Step 1
Download/print the PDF for the project pattern. Place your beads following the pattern.
Step 2
You will also need:
Wooden dowel - 1/8" diameter, 12" long
BakerŐs twine - 24" length
White glass or plastic beads - 6mm outer diameter, approx. 2mm hole - 17
White six-strand embroidery thread - 9 yards (Note: You can also use white string as long as a doubled-over length is thin enough to pass through the beads.)
Craft glue
Step 3
Trim the wooden dowel to measure 4-1/2" long.
Step 4
Find the center of the dowel and the center of the bakerŐs twine. Glue the twine to the dowel at the center point. Glue the twine to both ends of the dowel as shown. Tie the loose ends together above the dowel to complete the hanger, making it the desired length.
Step 5
Cut 17 - 18" lengths of the white thread.
Step 6
Loop the first piece of thread over the dowel. Beginning on the left side, follow the pattern to slide the Perler beads onto the doubled-over length of thread, working from top to bottom.
Step 7
Add one white glass/plastic bead. Tie a knot in the thread just below that bead to end off the column. If desired, add a small dab of glue to further secure the knot.
Step 8
Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the remaining 16 columns.
Step 9
Trim thread ends to desired length.
