Wooden Bead Garland with Tassels, Natural, 12 ft

Twelve feet of plain wooden beads on cotton twine with a tassel at each end — the quiet alternative to tinsel, and the piece that makes a tree look gathered rather than bought. Unpainted wood is the cottagecore Christmas neutral: it reads warm against green branches, sits happily beside dried orange and straw, and does not date. Off the tree it drapes on a mantel, a banister or a shelf of crockery for the rest of winter.

Good to know: Bare wood beads are light, so on a real tree they want tucking behind branch tips or they slide forward. The natural finish also varies slightly in tone bead to bead.
