Step-by-Step Instructions

Ready to get crafting? Here’s how to bring your beaded plant stakes to life:

1. Prepare the Rod

Take your threaded rod and screw a nut about 4½ inches from the bottom. This will mark the portion of the stake that gets inserted into the soil—keep this area bead-free.

💡 Tip: Use pliers if the nut feels tight to turn.

2. Add the Beads

Slide your chosen beads onto the rod starting from the top down. Mix colors, shapes, or go monochrome for a more modern look.

➡️ Stop beading when you reach the nut. This leaves the bottom section clear to anchor in the soil.

3. Top it Off

Screw your cabinet knob onto the top of the threaded rod to finish your masterpiece. It’s the cherry on top that gives your plant stake that polished, professional look.

4. Secure the Beads

Add a dab of E6000 glue between the final bead and the nut.

Screw the nut up snugly so it holds the beads in place tightly.

✅ Let the glue dry for at least 4-8 hours and 24 hours for best results.

5. Stake It & Style It

Once the glue is dry, push the empty end of the stake into the soil of a potted plant, hanging basket, garden bed, or flower box.

🎉 Done! Instant plant glam.
