African Waist Beads (NON-STRETCH)

HOW TO TIE WAIST BEADS:

• Position the waist beads around your waist where you want them to lay comfortably

• Cross the ends at your desired fit while allowing the extra beads to drop to the ends

• Tie 2-3 knots a that spot

• Cut the ends to release the extra beads then cut the strings off close to the knot

Waist beads are tied around the waist using durable cotton strings. Giving you the option to position the beads as needed.

These beads have been noted to have been worn as early as the 15th century for many purposes such as rites of passage and as a status symbol.
