These easy DIY beaded decorative garden stakes are kid-friendly, budget-friendly, and super-easy to make. They’re a beautiful addition to your yard or garden. Add more color and fun to your outdoor oasis with this adorable painted rocks project as well!

Decorative Garden Stakes

 

Decorative Garden Stakes

You only need a few supplies to make these decorative garden stakes. Grab an inexpensive plant prop and some green plant wire from a garden supply store.

NOTE: If you prefer to purchase beaded garden stakes instead of making them, check out all the beautiful options on Etsy!

To save on the decorative beads, try heading to the craft store for sales on colorful glass beads or search the internet for bulk discounts. You’ll also need scissors that can cut wire if the type you choose does not come with a built-in wire cutter already.

Do the kids want to help? Once you start a bead on a wire, the kids can do the rest themselves.  Love color? Make the strings of beads longer and more plentiful. You can also choose one color of bead per plant prop and make a rainbow trail through your garden or along your front walkway.

Colorful decorative garden stakes

To make decorative garden stakes you will need

  • 24-inch plant prop
  • green paddle wire (any gauge to fit the holes in your beads)
  • colorful, glass beads fitted with holes
  • wire cutters


Decorative Garden Stakes

Snip a piece of wire 10-inches long (or any comparable length you prefer). Wrap one end securely around a glass bead. Thread glass beads 6 to 6 1/2-inches along the wire. Wrap the remaining wire around the circular top of the plant prop. Dangle at least three beaded wires for each plant prop.

TIPS: Make the beaded wires longer or add more per plant prop for a more colorful look. For even more possibilities, head to a specialty bead store and find beads in the shapes of animals, characters, cupcakes, other types of food, and even emojis.

I love, love, love my decorative garden stakes. I think these will be my version of the pink flamingo for many years to come.
