Make it Monday: Beaded Container Garden Stakes

We’ll dress up spring container gardens by creating two colorful beaded garden stakes. Add these stakes to your container gardens, fairy gardens, or use them in your house plants.
Items Needed:
18” piece or longer of 16 or 20-gauge wire
Glass beads - various shapes and sizes
Round nose jewelry pliers
Wire cutter
Round pen or pencil
• If you are using these in an outdoor container, use a 16-gauge wire, it is thicker and will stand up better to being outdoors. For indoor house plants a 20-gauge wire is fine.
• Choose about 8-10 decorative beads, depending on the size of your beads. A total bead length of 4-1/2” - 5” (including spacer beads) is sufficient for a bead stake. Too many beads will make the stake top heavy.
• When choosing beads, have a piece of the wire handy to make sure the wire will fit through the hole in the bead.

[@hazelnorman8102]

I have watched several videos to learn how to do this and you are by far the best teacher. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent.

[@cannonfallslibrary3503]

Thank You so much. We are glad you appreciate the video.

[@sandrathomas2079]

[@cannonfallslibrary3503]

You are so welcome!

[@yomama8873]

Very cool thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@margaretskoog1919]

You are an excellent teacher! Such lovely stakes. Do you think that 14 gauge wire would be too heavy for indoor plant stakes?

[@cannonfallslibrary3503]

Depends on if the wire will fit through the beads. I think it will work, but it might be harder to bend.

[@marispurple]

Wow

[@donnamitchell8448]

Love this video, it's a great idea! I looked in the comments to see if I could find anything about how long the wire is that you start the project with, but I didn't find anything. I can just guess but if you have a standard length you use I would like to know. Thanks for the great idea!!!

[@angieneuman5922]

We started with an 18" piece of wire.

[@reginahudson9909]

I have question, how much of the wire do you measure out for the average stake ? Thank you so much for the tutorial, I enjoyed it very much !

[@artsydancequeen2964]

I read in a comment below that 18 inches is what what we should try!

[@sunnyredmond8346]

What kind of wire did you use?

[@pamelastansbury1407]

I have tons of acrylic beads..need glass ones!. Are the spacer beads glass too?

[@angieneuman5922]

Yes, all glass beads were used.

[@TheHope4abetterworld]

Please tell us the size of the wire and beads. These are so doggone pretty!! And they look like I could make them too :)

[@TheHope4abetterworld]

16 to 20 gauge wire ,,,,

[@marymaverick6319]

How long is your wire to start?

[@angieneuman5922]

18"

[@patriciaribble4072]

How long is that wire on the state you're starting with

[@cannonfallslibrary3503]

The list of supplies in the description states the wire size and length.

[@nik-amunra5972]

Where do you buy the beads and wire from?

[@angieneuman5922]

A general craft store such as Micheals, JoAnns or Hobby Lobby should have everything you need.

[@nik-amunra5972]

I just can't seem to find the wire- specifically that blue wire. I'll have to start searching Amazon.
