How do I tie my waist beads?
- Choose where you would like the waist beads to be, on your high waist, waist or hips
- Put the string of beads around your waist exactly where you want them to be
- Once you choose the placement for your waist beads, shift all the excess beads over towards the end of the string.
- Cross the strings on both sides and make your first knot.( undo the knot if you aren’t happy with the size or not feeling comfortable). Try not to leave any space or gap between the beads or else the waist beads could pinch your skin later on
- Make two to three more knots, cut off the anchor beads.
6.Discard the excess beads into container
- Pull the string apart and make two more knots
- get a pair of scissors and cut close to the knots
- Use a lighter to burn the edges (optional)

Whenever a girl reaches a new milestone (puberby, marriage, maternity ect) she gets a new set offered from elders( close relatives).
