5cm Faux Pearl Beads DIY Garland (20pcs)
This is a DIY garland kit rather than a pre-assembled piece, so what arrives is the material to build a garland, not a finished decoration. The kit includes 20 ivory faux pearl beads at approximately 5cm each, a length of string to thread them onto, and one needle to make that threading easier. Because you do the assembly yourself, you decide how the beads are spaced, which also means the finished garland isn't locked to one fixed length. That makes this a flexible starting point for a pearl garland sized to whatever you're decorating, rather than a single, pre-set design.

Since assembly is required, none of the pieces come pre-strung. The 20 loose pearl beads, the string, and the one needle are packaged as separate components, and it's up to you to thread them together into the finished garland. This hands-on format is typical of DIY craft kits, since it hands you control over spacing and overall look instead of locking you into a fixed design straight out of the package.
How to Assemble and Use This Garland
To assemble, take the included needle and use it to guide the string through each of the 20 pearl beads, spacing them however far apart you'd like as you go. Once all 20 beads are threaded, knot both ends of the string to keep them from sliding off. Because the spacing is entirely up to you, two people assembling this same kit could end up with noticeably different finished lengths, so it helps to lay the beads out roughly where you plan to use them before you start knotting.
At approximately 5cm each, these pearls sit on the smaller end for a statement garland, which makes them better suited to detail work than to large-scale backdrops. Common uses include cake and dessert table accents, which pair naturally with CV Linens™' display stands collection for cake and dessert setups, along with wreath or ornament embellishment, small garland drapes for picture frames or centerpieces, and finishing touches on gift wrapping or favor displays, where a subtler pearl reads better up close than a large one would.
Styling the 5cm Pearl Garland
The ivory tone is a soft neutral, so it pairs easily with other neutral or metallic accents rather than needing to be color-matched precisely. Pairing the pearl garland with backdrop draping adds subtle texture and dimension without overwhelming the smaller beads, while the delicate pearl size keeps the overall look balanced. It also pairs naturally with CV Linens™' artificial flowers collection, since a small pearl garland can be woven through floral stems or draped alongside faux blooms for added texture without competing with them.
If you're using it directly on a table, draping the finished garland along the edge of one of CV Linens™' tablecloths is a simple way to add detail without switching out the whole linen. For a more structured display, this smaller pearl size also suits compact accent pieces, such as the round hoop centerpieces found in CV Linens™' arch and backdrop props collection, since a finer pearl won't overwhelm a smaller frame the way a chunkier one might.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size are the pearls in this garland?
Each pearl bead in this kit measures approximately 5cm. That size applies to every bead in the set, since all 20 pearls included are the same size, not a mix of sizes.
Does this garland come pre-assembled?
No, this is a DIY kit, so assembly is required before you have a finished garland. You'll need to thread the 20 included beads onto the included string yourself, using one of the two included needles to guide the string through each bead.
What's included in this kit?
Each kit includes 1 string, 20 pearl beads, and 1 needle. That's everything needed to assemble the garland, so you won't need to source your own string or threading tool separately.
What material are the pearls made from?
The pearls are made from plastic, designed to resemble real pearls without the cost or fragility of the real thing. This is typical for faux pearl decor used in event and craft settings.
What color is this garland?
This garland is ivory. It's a soft, neutral tone that reads as classic and pearl-like rather than stark white.
How many pearls are included?
Each kit includes 20 pearl beads. That count is fixed per kit, so if you need a longer finished garland or want to make more than one, you'll need to purchase additional kits.
What can I use this garland for?
Because the pearls are on the smaller side, this size is best suited to detail-oriented uses rather than large statement pieces. Use it against backdrop draping to add a delicate decorative accent and subtle texture without overpowering the fabric. It also works well for cake toppers, dessert table accents, wreath or ornament embellishments, and small garland drapes for centerpieces or picture frames, where finer pearls read better up close.
What's the difference between the 5cm and 8cm versions?
Both versions include the same 20 pearls, 1 string, and 1 needle, and share the same ivory color and plastic material. The only real difference is the size of each pearl: the 8cm version uses noticeably larger beads, which creates a bolder look and, since the count is the same, a longer finished garland than you'd get from stringing together 20 of the smaller 5cm pearls.
