You can use any sort of beads for this, I used 16mm ones. If you sue smaller beads yoh will probably need to have more beads in it, just play around until it looks right. You can find beads at craft stores or bead stores, ive also added a link to the exact ones I used in my link tree! I got the wire in rhe florist section of the craft store but any thin wire will work. <a title=\"diy\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/diy?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#diy<\/a> <a title=\"diychristmas\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/diychristmas?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#diychristmas<\/a> <a title=\"diychristmasdecorations\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/diychristmasdecorations?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#diychristmasdecorations<\/a> <a title=\"diyornaments\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/diyornaments?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#diyornaments<\/a> <a title=\"handmadechristmas\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/handmadechristmas?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#handmadechristmas<\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - \ud83e\udd0d\ud83e\udd65S\u2022phia\ud83d\udc1a\ud83c\udf68\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7318545970336533291?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; \ud83e\udd0d\ud83e\udd65S\u2022phia\ud83d\udc1a\ud83c\udf68<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff3399;\"><b>Let&#8217;s get started!<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, thread your wire into 13 beads, making sure one larger bead is in the center. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carefully slide the ends of the leftover wire back into the larger bead to form two loops. Tighten the wire by pulling on it and add 6 more beads. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secure the ends by tying the wire around the last bead, and once it&#8217;s secure, cut off the excess. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To hang your bow, create an extra loop by threading another piece of wire through the middle bead, or feed a ribbon through the center bead.
