WAIST BEADS

Waist beads are traditional African accessories that consist of small glass beads on a cotton string or wire worn around the waist or hips. 

How do you apply waist beads?
1. Wear your full strands of waist beads below your navel or however high up you want it.
2. Remove any excess beads by pulling them off the cotton string. 
3. Tie 2 or 3 tight Overhand knots where the beads end. 
4. Leave about 1cm of the string hanging from the knot and then snip the rest off.
