Spool and Wool Garland

Christmas

Making a spool and wool Christmas garland is easier than you think and adds a nice touch to your holiday decor!

A white Christmas tree decorated with sparkly stars and French design all beside a fireplace with white stockings on it.

This pretty wood bead garland is on all the Christmas tree photos I’ve taken recently, and is so easy to make! You can use it for your Christmas tree or anywhere around your house.

Let me show you how you can make this easy spool and wool garland in minutes.

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Click to read my full disclosure policy.

supplies:

  • small wooden spools (big enough for wool to be threaded through but not too big so that they slide down the wool)
  • thick wool
  • large needle
Empty spools and wool.

directions:

1.Use a large needle for threading the wooden spools. You can see by the photo the size of needle I used. The hardest part of this project is threading that needle with wool but you only have to do it once.

Needles are beside the wooden spool.

I’m sure there is another needle with a bigger eye out there so pleas let me know!

2. Once you get the wool thread on the needle, knot it and start threading on the wooden spools.

The spool garland is draped across the mirror on top of the mantle.

3. Once you get the length you want, you can cut the wool and tie it in a knot.

That’s it! You don’t have to do anything else!

There is a mini Christmas tree on the fireplace mantel.

The best part is that the thickness of the wool keeps the spools in place so you don’t need to knot it anywhere else or even glue it.

The draping of the spool garland across the mantel.

The garland just seems to pop on my new white tree.

There is a little white tea party set up for the stuffed animals in front of the tree.
A sparkly Joyeux sign on the tree.

So pretty and so easy!

Why not make a spool and wool garland for this holiday season.

Make sure to pin it for later!

      Awww, thanks Emily! Yes, great idea to keep your eye out on old spools. The garland would look so cute all year round too.

    I absolutely love this garland! It reminds me of my mom, who is a sewer and quilter 🙂

It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did manage to get a load of work done. That’s feels good for a start of the week. 💚 Design dilemma: did you know that changing the doors and trim work jn your house can bring it up to date? If you skip it during a renovation, your house will still look dated. Swipe to see a before photo in my house. Such a difference it makes, right? 💚➡️ Check stories for more details in my blog post.

Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly L Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly Lace by @benjaminmoore. First, I love Simply White. I’ve painted it everywhere in my house, walls, cabinets, doors, trim. The color is perfect in my house. In some houses it shows a yellow undertone. If it does, White Dove is usually a great choice. But this is what I learned about 6 months ago in a color course I took, Chantilly Lace has nearly zero undertone! 💚➡️ Be sure to check out my blog post on Chantilly Lace and all the real house examples. I also have posts on the best way to pick white & grey paint colors in your home. I’ll leave direct links in stories & in a highlight in my profile. 💚
