I feel so lost have no idea where to start to make my waistbeads! I've never made jewelry and have no idea what kind of string/rope/lace I should use, no idea how I have to get those lil beads on a string and how to fasten them so they won't fall off or break. Did I mention no idea how much beads I need LOL as you can tell I have no idea how to even start the process. Any advice would be greately appreciated.
First thing if there is a bead shop near you go there and ask them what kind of string to use I use a heavy fishing twine can be found in the fishing section at Walmart or the likes. Find beads you like and buy plenty of them also get some type of fastener I use the clasp sets or the ones that you twist and lock. Start by lining up your beads and off the spool pickup the beads and thread. periodically measure your waist then finish by tying the other clasp and voila. before you know ut you'll have several made.
I have always admired your style on nappturality, so excited you joined the sewing circle can't wait to see what beatiful creations you'll share with us.
