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

Line up the ends towards the front, so that the two anchor beads are evenly lined up in front of you.

Before tying make sure to push all beads towards the back so that there aren't any gaps in the strand. (Gaps will cause pinching)

Pull on the anchor beads to release the knots

Criss cross the strands as if you are tying your shoes.

Move excess beads to the end near the anchor beads.

Tie 3 to 5 knots in the strand, make sure that NO beads become trapped in the knot.

When tying your knot make sure you are pulling tight. (do not tie your strand too tight for comfort)

Move all extra beads to the end of your strand near the anchor beads. Cut off the anchor beads, allowing the excess beads to fall into a cup or any container.

After cutting the anchor beads divide the strands evenly and then tie a few more knots (4-5) in the strand to secure the Waistbead. (Remember to pull tight when tying so your knots will hold.)

Cut off the excess thread, leaving about 1/2 inch away from the knot, making sure not to cut the knot.

Lastly twist your Waistbead so that the knot is in the back, and you're all done! (DO not burn the knot)
