Christmas Bead Garlands

What is a Christmas Bead Garland?

A Christmas bead garland is a string of small, connected beads that can be draped around trees, wreaths or mantels to create a dynamic, layered look. Traditionally used since the early 1900s to mimic icy tinsel or glass ornaments, they've become a reliable favourite for decorators who want something timeless and full of charm. At The Christmas Warehouse, our bead garlands come in a wide variety of styles and finishes. Choose from plastic, wooden, pearl, metallic or glittered designs, each with their own unique shine. Available in lengths from 1.8m to 4.5m, they're long enough to wrap around your tree multiple times or spread across doorways and tables. Colours include champagne, red, cream and natural wood, with finishes like matte, glossy, pearlescent, rustic and vintage. Lightweight, reusable and ideal for indoor use, they're made to last and keep their sparkle year after year.

Decorating with Bead Garlands

There is no wrong way to decorate with bead garlands. That's part of the fun. Wrap them from top to bottom in an even spiral around your Christmas tree for a balanced and classic look. Let them cascade loosely for something more relaxed or mix them with fairy lights for extra sparkle. Drape them across wreaths or evergreen garlands for added detail or weave them along your mantel or table centrepiece for a soft festive glow. They look great in any style, from retro Christmas themes and rustic farmhouse settings to Scandi minimalism or glam metallic designs. For a true Aussie touch, pair them with natural elements like native flora or fauna decorations, or pinecones. The gentle shimmer of the beads reflects the glow of your Christmas lights that fills your home with a joyful and heartwarming energy that everyone will feel.

What is a Garland?

Garlands are a decorative strand made from connected materials such as beads, tinsel, foliage or ornaments. They are used to drape, wrap or hang for festive display. Each type brings its own unique flair. Bead garlands offer a classic, textured shine that's elegant and understated while tinsel garlands are bright and bold, perfect for big, dynamic displays. Evergreen garlands provide a natural and traditional look that suits rustic or country-style decor while swag garlands drape beautifully across mantels or railings, creating a soft, cascading effect. Bauble garlands feature small ornaments and add a playful mix of colour and variety. Mixing and matching these styles builds layers of depth and personality, helping your home look its very best for the festive season.

Christmas bead garlands are an easy, affordable and stylish way to transform your home into something truly special. They complement both modern and traditional Christmas decorating styles and suit the relaxed, joyful vibe of an Australian Christmas. They don't melt or fade in warm Aussie summers and look just as good indoors at night as they do under the daylight streaming through your windows. To keep them looking great, simply wipe them clean and store them loosely in a dry place for next year. For the best results, pair your bead garlands with matching baubles, tinsel or lights for a complete festive look.
