You might have seen them popping up everywhere – from Instagram to Pinterest it seems like wooden beads are fall’s trendiest craft.

Since most of us would love to personalize our newfound crafting love, I’ve put together a simple step-by-step guide on how to paint wooden beads!

Obviously, the actual first step is to buy the beads. You can get them at Target, Hobby Lobby, or Michael’s.

Step One:

Step one: add your wooden beads to a wooden stick.

Add your beads to a wooden stick. Many times, you can find these in the craft section next to the bead. I usually use two at a time, each time I paint. Make sure you leave a little room between each so when you start painting, you can get the sides. It’s okay if the beads are a little loose on the stick – they are just providing structural support as you paint.

Now that you know how to paint wooden beads like a pro, you can start using them on your next DIY project.
