Learn How To Hang Bead Garland On A Christmas Tree

Christmas Tree Garland Ideas

There are a lot of different colors and styles of Christmas tree bead garland. From the basic red colored beads, to shiny acrylic, to gold and silver colors, along with white, pearl and everything in between. These bead garland for Christmas trees are made from wood, acrylic, crystal and a lot of other materials I am sure.

The length of your bead garland will depend on the height of your tree and how tight or loose you string the strands of beads.

I like to start with a strand of bright, red beads that are 15 feet or so long. Starting at the bottom branches of the tree, I go around the tree and string the garland in a spiral design until I reach the top of the Christmas tree. Then I string a gold, silver or pearl strand in the opposite direction around the tree. This is for a 7 and a half foot tree, which is our main tree.

We have other Christmas trees that we also hang vintage Christmas bead garland on. The themes and colors invariably change every year so just use your imagination to match or contrast with the Christmas theme or color scheme that you have chosen.

3 Christmas Tree Bead Garland Ideas To Try This Holiday Season

Blue Bead Garland For Christmas Tree

We often think of red as the “go-to” color for Christmas tree garland because red and green are the primary colors of the season. A lot of homeowners are stepping away from this paradigm and bringing their own splash of style to the holidays. Whether it’s unique Christmas tree bead garland ideas or Christmas trees of an entirely different color; you’re by no means limited to green trees with red beads.

Blue Bead Garland For Christmas Tree

Blue Christmas tree bead garland is a great idea because it happens to work well alongside traditional colors like green and red. You can add a splash of color to the Christmas palette without completely redesigning everything. Incorporating a single strand of blue garland around the tree will cause it to “pop” without overpowering the red and green.

But what if you want to completely forego the red and green color scheme? Blue Christmas tree garland is often used in addition to white and gold Christmas garland to create a Christmas color scheme that doesn’t rely on red and green at all. Blue garland alongside white and gold ornaments will have a classical look that still invokes the Christmas spirit.

Large Bead Garland For Christmas Tree

Oversized bead garland is one of my favorite Christmas tree bead garland ideas. You can easily make your own large bead garland at home or purchase it directly from various retailers. The beads are often between 1 and 2 inches in diameter. They can be made from felt, wood, or plastic.

Large Bead Garland For Christmas Tree

Large felt bead garland is useful because it won’t add excessive weight to the branches of your tree despite the larger size. Wood bead garland for Christmas tree does have a nice aesthetic appeal, but you need to make sure your branches are strong enough to support the added weight. You’ll want to rely on fewer solid ornaments than usual to reduce the weight load. Large wooden beads look great alongside other classical wooden Christmas ornaments like nutcrackers.

If your Christmas tree is larger than average, then oversized bead garlands can really help emphasize the impressive size. Another great benefit of large garland is that it looks great in other areas of the house as well. You can stream it along the mantle, around doors, and in a variety of other spots where it’s guaranteed to grab people’s attention.

Glass Bead Tree Garland

Most Christmas tree bead garland ideas involve wood, plastic, or felt beads. However, if you really want to invest in something classical and flashy, then glass bead garland is a great idea. It’s generally more expensive than the alternatives, but most homeowners agree that it’s worth every penny.

Glass Bead Tree Garland

There are a variety of styles including some that we’ve already mentioned here like blue or red bead garland. I especially like the look of vintage mercury glass Christmas beads on our tree.

There are also large glass bead garland strands that have the appearance of traditional glass ornaments on a string. This makes it easy to add a full string of ornaments to your Christmas tree without fighting with hooks or placing ornaments one branch at a time.

Make Some Unique Christmas Season Events

Our family strives to do something unique each Christmas and I highly recommend it. Trying out different Christmas garland ideas is a great way to change up the style and make this a Christmas season to remember.
