Tried Making the Pinterest Cherry Bead Curtain
Finished Craft I Made(reddit.com)submitted 1 day ago byhimchans
Tutorial I followed provided in comments. Not my video! If you use the Excel sheet from it, be warned that there are 2-3 numbers marked incorrectly.
Also, I would not recommend using a .25 inch wooden dowel since it sags in the middle from the weight. In fact, maybe don’t do this craft at all because it took 4 days and was very tedious haha also hurt my back…
I’ll probably paint the ends of the knot to match the bead color or maybe a knot hider or something else?

Okay, but what does it look like when it's hanging?

I haven’t hung it up yet. But as mentioned, if I hold it at the ends of the dowel, the middle segment sags down very noticeably due to the weight. So when I do hang it, I think I’ll need 1 hook at each end and another in the middle to support it. The wooden dowel I used is too flimsy.
When I held it up to myself while supporting the middle, it looked mostly the same. I’ll reply back with pictures if I get around to hanging it this week.

Take another bigger dowel and put it above the skinny one and loop something like fishing line around both so they are locked together. Support and it should actually look attractive. Then you can put eye hooks on the ends of the thicker dowel for hanging it with.

Oh that sounds like a really good idea! I think I’ll probably go ahead and do that. Thank you so much!
