As you might have noticed from this post, I like wood beads. This time I bought some bigger beads, to make a wood bead potholder. I used a neon yellow string with it, because I like the combination of the shouting neon with the natural and calm wood texture.

I went to the craft store and bought 15 Wood beads (diameter 30mm / about 1,2 inch) and a stretch chord. You put all 15 beads on the stretch chord and make a double loop on the end. I pulled the chord a bit so my circle would be tight enough. Then I hid the two ends in the last two beads so they weren’t visible and voila, done. A quick and simple DIY project to make a nice new design object for your dining table.
