How to Make a Boho Wood Bead Keychain

Wooden bead crafts are so popular right now. There are so many fun projects to make! You can buy wood beads from the dollar store, craft store or online. Choose your bead length and shapes you want before you start to string them together.

Next take a larger bead and string it with both pieces of the leather string. Try using larger beads or beads with a larger opening because you may have a hard time getting the bead on.

Continue adding beads.

Add as many beads as you want, depending on how long you want your wood bead keychain to be.

Cut off the excess string. Try not to take too much string off, I think mine turned out a bit short. But it still turned out good!
