Add a playful pop of color to your holiday decor with this DIY Wooden Bead Wreath! By dyeing wooden beads in a variety of vibrant hues, we’ve created a whimsical wreath that’s reminiscent of colorful ornaments. The wood takes Rit Dye beautifully, acting like a stain for rich, deep color. Once the beads are dyed and dried, simply glue them onto a wreath form for a festive, one-of-a-kind creation that brings joy to any space!
