How To Measure

1. Number of Waist Beads

Before you hop onto tying the waist beads, you should decide how many strands you want to put on therefore adjoining all the strands together that will go around your waist.

The more waist beads you join the more will be the volume of waist beads around the waist and you will wrap it around multiple times. It gives an embellished look. But you can also go for a single or double strand, it’s entirely up to your liking.

2. Suitable Location

You need to make up your mind whether you want to wrap the waist beads around your waist, belly, hips, or waistline. When you find a suitable spot it’s easy to adjust.

3. Wrap Beads Around

The next pivotal step is to wrap the strands of waist beads around your waist and adjust it on the part of the body you chose and hang thereby holding the strand with your thumb.

You can wrap waist beads multiple times as you want and can also wrap them like you put on a belt around your waist. It’s that simple to begin.

4. Determine Tightness

When you have comfortably adjusted the strand around your body, determine how much tightness you desire. It should not be too tight causing it to break when you’re sitting or bloated.

Similarly, it should not be sluggishly loose that it falls off your waist. Now when you have determined the level of tightness you want, hold that end of the waist beads.

Some waist beads also come with a hook at the end that can fit perfectly fine but in varying body types, you might want to tie the ends even before the hooks meet. Now when a comfortable length is secured, just hold on to the excessive beads at the end of the strand.

5. Remove Excess Beads

While holding onto the ends of strands, remove any excessive beads so it can create some space for you to tie the knot. Either save the beads or discard them, it’s totally your decision.

However, if the strand of beads at the end is long enough that you wouldn’t want to waste it, go around and wrap one more time or detach the extra strand. The beads should all be pushed back from the anchor bead to avoid any gaps in the strand.

6. Tie and Cut off the Excess String

If the waist beads have hooks, screw them together, then that’s all for that, but if you have a traditional tie on strand, intertwine the string together into 2-3 tight knots or even more if you feel it’s not secure enough. you can make what’s called “surgeons knot” that will be sure to last a very long time

If you find it loose, remove the extra beads then tie them together. But remember, it will stay on permanently so you need to make it tight as you can hold for a longer time.

After you tied the knot, remove excessive beads.

7. Use a Clasp

A clasp would be efficiently helpful in holding the edges of waist beads together for a longer time and it’s a good alternative as well. If it’s not very tight around your waist, you can also remove some extra waist beads from around your waist.

8. Secure the Beads

A very crucial step is to make sure that the waist beads are tied securely and won’t fall off or loosen any time sooner. You definitely don’t want to go through the struggle of adjusting it every day as it eventually gets frustrating. So make 4-5 knots to ensure it stays in place and is tight enough.

9. Use Nail Glue

Another method to make sure that the ends are sealed is to use nail glue to stick the ends together, But only after you tie the ends of course.

AND THATS IT, YOU DID IT!!!!
