WAIST BEAD TYING INSTRUCTIONS

​

​

​

Step 1: Carefully remove your strand from its bag. (Strands may tangle slightly during shipping, gently untangle them)

 

Step 2: Wrap strand around your body meeting each end in the front. (Every strand has an anchor bead on each end that is an alternate color from beads on strand)

 

Step 3: Once you have your strand positioned where you want them to fall (waistline, high hip, hip) do this by pushing beads closely together) and make sure no string is exposed. 

 

Step 4: Overlap strand twist twice, as you would shoelaces 2-3 times. (ensure that there are no beads in the loop)

 

Step 5: Pull each strand tightly to make sure that the knot is tight and the strand fits snug & comfortably. 

 

Step 6: Pull the anchor bead on each end until you hear a click allow the extra beads to fall towards the anchor bead.

 

Step 7: Tie a basic knot, make sure to pull tightly. Repeat this step 2 times, making sure there are no beads in your knot.

 

Step 8: Cut anchor beads on each end and tie the 2 strings on the left into a tight knot .. tie the 2 strings on the right into a knot. Then take 1 string from the left and 1 from the right and tie in a knot, do the same for the other side. Now take 2 strands in each hand and tie a basic knot, do this twice so that beads are comfortably snug in desired spot.

 

Please remember to be patient when tying strands, using a mirror helps. Please be mindful of pulling/tugging strands when getting undressed & remember beads up bottoms down.
