How To Tie Waistbeads

How to Tie Your Waist Beads

1. Wrap the waist beads around you.
   Put the strand around the part of your waist where you want your beads to stay.
2. Find the fit you want.
   Move the beads and string until the beads sit exactly where you want them. Make them tighter or looser until they feel comfortable.
3. Hold that spot.
   Once you like the fit, hold both ends of the string together. Do not let go or the size may change.
4. Tie the strings together.
   Tie a regular knot right where you are holding the strings. Pull the knot tight. This knot locks in the fit you chose.
5. Tie 2 more knots.
   Tie two more regular knots in the same spot. Pull each knot tight.
6. Check your beads.
   Make sure they feel comfortable and the knot is secure.
7. Cut off the extra string.
   Carefully trim the extra string hanging from the knot. Leave a small amount of string after the knot.
8. Secure the ends.
   For extra hold, add a tiny drop of super glue to the knot or carefully burn the very tips of the leftover string. If using a flame, do this away from your body and skin.

✨ All done! Your waist beads should now stay at the fit you chose.

To remove: Carefully cut the string. Avoid cutting directly against your skin.
