Arguably, it’s that time of year when blankets get the ol’ heave-ho into storage, but I do like to keep a few at close reach in warmer months for after dark on the patio and such. This small-space blanket holder is made of wood and clay beads and is great for storing + displaying blankets without taking up much, if any, floor space. If you’ve ever strung beads into a necklace or bracelet as a kid, then you’ve got more than enough experience to tackle this little project.
Originally, I was going to have the entire string be wood beads, but I didn’t have enough so I made some oversized beads out of clay and baked them solid. Then I strung an array of clay and wooden beads in a (more or less) random pattern onto heavy cording and tied the two ends together forming a giant loop of beads. From there, I hung the loop asymmetrically on two nails on the wall, and draped my blankets. If you’re interested in my FULL TUTORIAL, come check it out over at Sugar & Cloth!
