• Decide the length of the thread by wrapping it around your wrist/ankle and checking if the length is comfortable for you.
• Next, begin adding the beads into the thread via the holes that are between each bead. You can choose either a single color or multi-colors beads to make them more vibrant.
• You could also add a pendant somewhere in the middle for extra bling.
• Once you’re done adding all the beads, tie the loose ends of the elastic thread together.
• To further secure the knot, you could add superglue over it. Let it dry, and voila! Your beaded band is ready.
