I sure hope you figured out how to thread the needle (double it and thread it like a regular sewing needle) and you became comfortable with the bead spinner because I love mine and it is this brand ... Hugs and happy creating!!!
Thank you this is a very helpful video a few questions Does needle size matter ? I’m considering doing this for a business. All the person would need is to send me their measurements in order for me to know how long to make the waist bead correct ? Lol I know that may sound like a simple question but I wanna be sure. Why did you buy the junior and not the standard size bead bowl does that matter ? Any advice on where to get different beads ? I know there are a lot of different store options. I just wanted to know your preference.
Yes the needle size matters because the 8/0 beads are very small with a tiny hole lol & yes just ask them their exact measurements of where they would want it to lay. & for the bead bowl it wouldn’t really matter the size you use. There are a lot of bead websites, beadkraft.com is really good
I absolutely appreciate you asking and understanding the history. You can absolutely wear waist beads. The problem comes in when people take our culture and introduce it as something new that they created. I think we should all take the time to understand each others culture. We are all so interesting. ❤️❤️❤️
Heey It is very considerate of you to ask. My take on this as a mixed person..kinda between two worlds... I have light skin, afro hair, whenever in braids, people look at me with contempt, which from their point of view is justified. I do my best to be respectful, I actually cherish all cultures regardless of my connection to them, still this can happen, probably will happen. So all I'm saying is as long as you act properly, don't give a damn and do what makes you truly happy. Who judges based on a waist bead isn't that big of a loss anyways.
Thank you! & how much bigger are you talking? It probably wouldn’t be as efficient with sliding on as easily but if its 8mm beads they’re big enough for you to slide on manually
I got all the materials you linked in the description but the only problem I’m having is with getting the beads past the needle and onto the thread. They’re getting stuck and I can pull them through with force but I’m bending my needle up in the process. Should I use a stronger needle?
