8cm 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 8cm 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 8cm each, these pearls are noticeably larger than standard bead sizes, which gives the finished garland a bolder, more substantial look and, since the count is the same, a longer overall span than you'd get from the 5cm version. That scale suits larger statement uses, such as backdrop accents and arch or balloon garland embellishment, which pair well with CV Linens™' arch and backdrop props collection, along with hanging installations where a chunkier pearl reads clearly even from a distance, unlike a smaller bead that would get visually lost across a large space.
Styling the 8cm 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 garland with backdrop draping creates a more dimensional display, with the larger pearls adding a noticeable decorative accent against the fabric. It also works well paired with CV Linens™' artificial flowers collection for a fuller backdrop or arch display, since the larger pearls hold their own visually next to bigger floral arrangements instead of getting lost against them.
For bigger installations, draping it across one of CV Linens™' display stands, like a pedestal or backdrop frame, gives the garland a stable structure to hang from rather than relying on tape or clips. It can also be layered along the edge of a table dressed in one of CV Linens™' tablecloths for a bolder accent than the smaller pearl size would provide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size are the pearls in this garland?
Each pearl bead in this kit measures approximately 8cm. 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 larger and read as more of a statement piece, this size works well for backdrop accents, arch or balloon garland embellishment, and hanging installations. The larger scale means the pearls stay visible even when viewed from further away, which smaller beads wouldn't manage as well.
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: this 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.
