Step 1

Determine how long you would like your photo wall organizer to be and cut the jute accordingly.

Step 2

Wrap a piece of clear tape over one end of the jute and twist it making the jute as narrow as possible to make it easier to thread the beads onto the jute.

Step 3

Slide wood beads onto the jute in a desired pattern that varies the bead sizes. Tie a knot around the bead pattern to keep them in place, leave a gap between the next group of beads for a photo, then repeat the beaded pattern.

Step 4

Cut the tape from the end.

Step 5

If desired, repeat Steps 1-4 to add a second layer for more photos.

Step 6

Add photos within the gaps with a clothespin.
