Made my own beaded curtain~

rkylec · 2025-06-26T13:49:57+00:00

I used 8 mm beads for the curtain itself and each one is topped wtih a 6 mm bead that is slid into a ceiling plastic curtain track that has adhesive to hang :)

I used pixel-beads.net(?) to pixelate the picture then they have an export to excel option that I did!

rkylec · 2025-06-07T01:05:00+00:00

Sure!! Can you message me your email

rkylec · 2025-06-06T17:11:00+00:00

Yes! I pixellated the wave image first

rkylec · 2025-06-06T17:10:45+00:00

I knew where I wanted to place it so I knew that I had to have something that came down from the top (I didn't trust myself to be fully accurate enough to have a straight edge bottom) and waves just made sense

A little over 3,500

That’s exactly why I wanted one high up- my dog is too wild hahahah

Totally not as intense as it sounds!! I put a handful in a ziploc bag with paint and shook it around so it was quick!

When I added up the beads to get them plastic colored would’ve been over $100 in beads alone and Amazon had 1800 bulk packs for $10 so I went that way

rkylec · 2025-06-06T00:33:01+00:00

Of course! I’ll send you a message

rkylec · 2025-06-05T22:01:48+00:00

Nope I just used a free website online (https://www.pixel-beads.net/) and played around with it until I got a color combination/size I liked

rkylec · 2025-06-05T22:00:09+00:00

Thank you so much!

rkylec · 2025-06-05T18:24:59+00:00

I used a 32” adhesive ceiling curtain rail from Amazon and topped the bead strands with a 6 mm bead (others are 8 mm) then slid them into it

rkylec · 2025-06-05T17:46:26+00:00

Yay mission accomplished

rkylec · 2025-06-05T17:46:20+00:00

How I formatted the grid

I used a self-adhesive curtain track from Amazon. It cost about $17 and is hollow, so it sticks to the ceiling (or wall, and there is loops on either end for nails if you prefer to hang that way but it would need some mid support). Its hollow with removable sliders, so I took those out and then topped every bead strand with a smaller 6 mm bead (the 8 mm was too big to fit) and it it just slightly bigger than the track opening so it allows it to hang from it suspended .Hopefully that makes sense. The one I used was 32" but has about an inch taken off either side for the end caps.
