These beads also feature a silver-colored lining, adding depth and brilliance to the blue tone.

How to Tie Your Waist Beads (Video timestamp: 1:38)

1. Stand up straight.
2. Wrap the strand around your bare waist (waistline, high hip, or hip, depending on where you want the beads to sit).
3. Relax your stomach and leave a little room for breathing, sitting, and moving. The fit should be snug but not tight.
4. Slide off any excess beads.
5. Tie 2-3 firm knots.
6. Trim the remaining thread, leaving about ¼" (7 mm).

Optional: Add a drop of nail glue or super glue to secure the knot.

Note: Always measure on bare skin unless you plan to wear the waist beads over clothing.

How to Measure Your Waist for Beads with Clasp

1. Stand upright and use a soft measuring tape directly on your skin.
2. Measure around your waist, high hip, or hips, wherever you want the waist beads to rest. (See model photo for guidance.)
3. Relax your belly and leave a little room for movement.
4. Make sure the tape is level, snug, and not too tight.
5. Read and double-check your measurement.

Avoid using clothing sizes as a guide. They are not accurate for waist beads fitting.
