1. Hold both ends of your waist bead and pull the anchor bead on each end to untie the knot.
*Anchor bead should remain on until step 10.

2. Keep all the beads in the center of the thread and wrap the waist bead around your back. Keep the two ends with the anchor bead at the front of your body.

3. Choose where you'd like the waist bead to sit on your waist. You can wear it lower on your hips or higher around your waist – wherever feels comfortable and stylish for you.

4. *Make sure the beads are tight together to prevent gaps before you start this step!* Cross over the two ends (creating an "X") and push all the excess beads towards the anchor bead.

5. Bring one end through the loop close to your body.

6. Pull the thread tight to help close any gaps that may have formed.

7. Carefully tie your first knot, trying not to loosen the thread.

8. Tie 3-4 knots.

9. Cut off the excess thread, beads, and anchor bead, but leave about half inch of thread where you tied all your knots.

10. Now enjoy your new waist bead!
