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.
