Wrap the Waistbead around the area of your body where you want it to rest.

Align the ends in front of you so that the two anchor beads are centered.

Push all beads towards the back to eliminate any gaps in the strand, as gaps can cause pinching.

Pull on the anchor beads to loosen the knots.

Crisscross the strands as if you were tying your shoes.

Move any excess beads toward the end near the anchor beads.

Tie 3 to 5 knots in the strand, ensuring no beads get trapped in the knots.

Tighten the knots as you tie them, but avoid making them too tight for comfort.

Move the remaining beads to the end near the anchor beads. Then, cut off the anchor beads, letting the excess beads fall into a container.

Divide the strands evenly, then tie 4 to 5 more knots to secure the Waistbead. Be sure to pull tightly to keep the knots in place.

Trim the excess thread, leaving about 1/2 inch from the knot. Be careful not to cut the knot itself.

Finally, twist the Waistbead so the knot is in the back, and you’re all done! (Do not burn the knot.)
