D.I.Y. Waistbeads 

Happy Black Friday Everyone!! Our ENTIRE site is up to 60% OFF❗️🥰 go to CharmingT.com to shop ❤️

Love how u know it’s enough money to go around because everybody is scared to lose

I love your willingness to help others learn and give little tips and tricks you’ve picked up. I agree to 80% of your tips love. The only thing I have to say is the ruler/measuring tape does not start at the 1 you start where the tape starts. I get many ladies that are confused with sizing and I’m noticing it’s tons of us beaders that are starting from one and we need to correct that. The thing is that with the tie on method we give them room to fit them but if we use clasps and elastic we need accurate measurements. Also look into a bead spinner. It is a game changer. I don’t want a bunch of people coming jumping down my neck I just wanted to let you know that you didn’t say that correctly. 💖 you have beautiful work and keep it up. Stay open to learning and sharing it will take you far. Also there are some bead vendors on Etsy that have really good beads that are high quality for a low price

I really admire how you put your entire process out there to make it easier for those of us learning. Keep having the mentality that we can all eat! God bless you and your business(es) ❤️

You’re dope for this because a lot of people act like it’s a secret. I just want to make my own

Sis, I had to stop your video at 2:16 to say 1) Thank you for sharing your knowledge even though this is how you make your money. 2) For you saying that, "There's enough money out here for everybody." 3) I'm a new subbie based on points 1 & 2. Thank you once again, Sis!

I also started putting a towel down so I can catch the beads when they fall for easy clean up.

02:10 Requirements 03:45 Cotton thread 10:58 Number of strings 14:10 Start threading

Heeey, if u put 2 nails or 2 thumb tacks on a wall at the distance u want them...u can string your strands and cut your string once. You can also use Aunt Lydias crochet thread, same mercerized cotton. U can put a towel down to put your beads on and string from there .

Come thru Queen. U said it right there is enough money out here for all of us. We as a ppl are the only ones that refuse to help each other. Subscribe button pushed!!

Thanks for sharing hun. I like to be a blessing to others also .... That beading caddy is regular price at Walmart for $9.99 And you can also use size 10 crochet thread I usually get a huge ball of it from Walmart for around $3 it's also mercerized cotton..you just get a lot more🙌 I usually double it so my beads are usually at least 6/0 beads ... I use the thread you have when strictly dealing with the tiny seed beads from that caddy .... Thanks again for sharing my waist bead boss sister 😘😘

Website is now updated and I also added a beginners kit! That way you’ll receive all the materials you need in order to make these beautiful waistbeads 😍🤗

Yes!!! That is absolutely true....people have tutorials but don’t give you everything and you have to watch 50 videos to learn supplies, tricks of the trade, things to avoid. I don’t make beads but I do other crafts. I love your energy and perspective....there is enough for everybody. What God has for you is for you. God bless you and may you prosper in your business.

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for getting me to 100 Subscribers! 🎉💕 The love is real & most definitely appreciated. I made the elastic video but having trouble editing it on my laptop. So I’m going to post 2 parts of it. Thank you so much for your patience!

Thank you For this I mean I’ve halted my waist bead making journeys 3 times behind the string . I even joined a fb group trying to find help on the string situation and all I got was an angry passive aggressive thesis statement about how we should find our own way so thank you sis fr I needed this and I took notes lol

Sis!!!! You’re a life saver! I just started my waist beads business and I’m experimenting with beads! You gave me what I’ve been looking for and the best thing you said is “there’s money out here for EVERYONE!!” What they holding out for? Lol Thank you so much!!!

Let me tell u how u just helped my business out, I've sold so many waist beads already...but I've used everything from Japan Nylon to Glitter elastic...THANK YOU! I kept noticing ppl had "multiple" strings coming out of their beads & im like "🤔" how? But im legit using micro 15/0 seed beads because their soooo pretty 😍. However im taking days to string 1 strand. So i went to buy the thread u suggested & whilst i was there...a lady saw my waistbeads I was wearing & saw the seed beads I was buying in my hand & said "no ma'am!" & she literally handed me what I needed to use! Thanks to you & her im about to flourish hopefully! I wish you all the continued success in you business as well! 💖🥰🙌🏽🤗 Im going to eventually do a transparent video like this as well because like u said, other videos are leaving out the most important parts!

I posted on FB that I'm making my 1st waist beads and I have over 5 requests for people to make them some. Yaaaassssss there's money for EVERYONE 😉

I use plain chap stick or wax to hold my strings from getting messed up. I’ve been useing seed beads for years but I’m new to waist beads. I always wanted to make them but 1. Didn’t know if there was more than just “beads and strings” and 2. I was self doubting since I’m overweight and I wasn’t comfortable in my own skin, I AM NOW!!! I believe waist beads are gorgeous and love the meanings behind them.

May The Most High GOD bless you with a double portion! Thank you for passing on knowledge and not hoarding it 🖤

Thank you for this tutorial. I must say that it is definitely a shame that most choose not to share what they know...everyone starts from somewhere and were also in search of the best materials to use. People need to stop with that type of mentality. Thanks again ♥️

I've tried all types of cords... Didn't want to start selling till i got it right but ive been making them for myself with embroidery thread. Thanks you for the tip

I love that you said you cannot make the waist beads for the entire world. I do not like when other youtubers do not tell you all the materials. Thanks girl!

I made my first waist beads yesterday and then today I found your video. Your video is so informative and helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

i love it when my queens save a seat at the table for us!!! thanks for the video and i hope you're business thrives❤️❤️

❤❤you're the real MVP for not gatekeeping and sharing the knowledge!❤

Hi I thank you for your words, when I started my bead business no one would give me any information. I really thank God who showed me everything I needed to do, God Bless I’m just preparing to make my waist beads.

I just want to say thank you so much for sharing. I literally picked up the same 1000 bead kit for $6 because it was priced incorrectly 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. I also picked up the 3 for a dollar plastic contain at dollar tree. I saved so much money bc Jo-anne was charging $2 each. I'm all set to go can't wait to make my first set. Thanks for such a great very detailed simple to follow tutorial.

🙌🏾 Much Gratitude 👑💪🏾💜 I just made my first last night, and it absolutely took over 3hrs going one bead at a time, whilst also not ignoring my 2yo. I'm ordering from Amazon right now though. I appreciate you so much sorry sharing everything! You're absolutely right about others not sharing what supplies they use. Love💜 & Light💫👑

Your are such a great teacher and beautiful young lady. I appreciate your willingness and patience to teach.

I’m so glad I came across this video! I started making my own waistbeads for fun and people started asking if I sell them. I couldn’t seem to find the thread and I’m hoping to go buy this tomorrow. Thank you!

I was literally standing in Joann's yesterday and decided I wanted to make some waist beads for myself, did a RU-vid search and your video popped right up. I had watched a few, but this one was by far the best one I've watched. And I just walked around Joann's and bought everything you mentioned (except the bead caddy - I bought the hanging beads instead because they had a couple specific colors and looks I wanted). I just made the first one and I am so psyched. It's super cute and you made it super easy. Thank you so much. ❤️

Thanks sista for sharing, sadly but it is true no matter what your making people don’t want to give you information they see others as competition when there is so much money to go around, not only that they could be blessed for sharing a wealth of information! Be blessed and thanks for sharing!

I just have to say you’re a real one! People like you make entrepreneurship 10 times easier! God bless you 🤎

I just found this video!! I am so happy that you made this. I used to make them for myself - thought about selling them but they took so long to make. Yes, I put 2-3 beads on a wire at a time by hand!! LOL.. I am so outdated. My Sis told me to look on RU-vid - I am now excited to make them to sell. There is plenty of money to go around. What the Creator has for us no one can take away. Thank you for sharing your gifts.

“I can’t make waists beads for the entire world I’m giving y’all the secrets” Das a black queen right there

Thanks did the details on the material that you use love! Hope ur business continues to grow!

Your video was very thorough. Thankyou. I want to make my own waist beads but was lost on what kind of string & size beads. Thankyou for your tips. You are the only video I found that gives all the info. Thankyou again

Omgg I LOVE how in-depth and real you are in this video!! 🙌🏽 it’s so beautiful to see you sharing your knowledge ❤️

Much gratitude goddess!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🧿💫✨💛✨💫🧿

I am only 2 :29 minutes in and good financial blessing to you. I feel the same way its enough money for us all and with your mentally, you will always have THANK YOU!!!

Thank you so much for the tips. I never thought to put the beads on the needle like that I was literally picking them up with the tweezers and placing them on the needle one by one 😂😂😂. It will take me forever just to do one full string now I’m flying through it. That was the best tip ever you saved me so much time.

OMG i love you ! Thank thank thank you so much for sharing this information. May God and the Ancestors bring you wealth beyond what you’re mind can believe! You just helped me in SOOOOOO many ways 🙏🏾 again thank you Goddess!

You are really appreciated. I was struggling to find someone to tell me or give a suggestion on beads and on threads it’s been a headache but thank you so much. I wish you nothing but luck and serenity ✨

Your video is by far one of the best examples of what type of thread to use, along with the other materials for waist bead making.

I wish more of us would think like this young woman...we would go so far. Wishing your business all the success on the world ❤️

Just want to let you know, you my homegirl now. The patience and the time you took to teach others is really dope of you to do ❤️❤️💪🙌🏾

Girl very user friendly and that's what I need. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and struggle.

Happy Friday Iyanna. I watched your tutorial to help me get started in making waist beads to sell. Just wanted to say thanks.

I was thinking the same thing about the other channels, they did not share too much about the materials they use to make waist beads. That's why I like and subscribe to your Channel Thanks for sharing.

Best tutorial I've seen this fair. Clear and straight to the point! Great job sis!

I’m subscribing just for your realness and willingness to share. ❤️

Thank you for your down to earth and clear tutorial. I just started a few months ago with waist beads. I've made about 20 and sold 2 but have ppl requesting tie ons which is the only style I haven't tried yet.

This is dope! I appreciate you because I have literally watched so many people and no one has given the thread information. thank you sistar!

BEST tutorial I have seen so far. Thank you for really getting in detail with the materials and the process. I wish you nothing but hella success in your business!!!

Yesterday in my town we had a bead show and I bought some different of beads from different vendors however I bought 8 waist beads from a black vendor, always wanting to support our people, bead shows are a great place to get beads

I lobe love love that you actually go into details it’s not many ppl who do that.

Thank you so much for this video. I like to adorn myself, I feel so strong and confident when I have waist beads surrounding my womb, I’ve made 2 but they both broke within like 2 weeks! I’m trying to perfect this craft so I can adorn myself and also gift to others. I appreciate this vid and I appreciate u for makin it. Peace and love sis

Thank you for this!!! I've recently started the process of starting a waistbead/wire jewelry business and the string + needles have been the most frustrating part. Every week I want to give up but I keep going lol. I sold 7 pieces last week and I can honestly say that it was motivating. Definitely going to check out the string you recommended!! Thank you again!! 🙏🙏🙏

I’m new at making/selling waist beads myself and I have bought all types of damn string lol. Thank you for this video!!!! I bought that exact same bucket of beads at Walmart for $20.00. I’m about to go to the store and get the right thread this time lol 😂. I appreciate you.

It's awesome that you said how can peyote do a how to video but leave information out. Thank you. Keep up the good work and best of luck to you and your business, many blessings.

I am new to the idea of making and selling waist beads. Your video has me ready to make some RIGHT NOW (11:56PM) lol THANK YOU so much for sharing ALL the details. THERE IS ENOUGH for everyone!!!

You gone WIN & Continue to flourish because your intentions are pure . Thank you for sharing these gems 💎 like you said it’s enough for us ALL to eat . See you at the top sis ✨✨

Thank you for specifying the thread!!! You are so awesome and I love how you are teaching others something you took the time and effort to perfect.

Your tutorial was the best, like you said, no one else would tell what kind of string to use. Thank you sis!!

I really appreciate you sharing the materials and products that are used to make the waist beads! I just ordered all of my supplies and will get them today.

Very informative. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you continued abundance and growth in your business.

Babbbyyy I appreciate you to the fullest. You are a god sent. I started making waistbands but I started with only elastic string and always wanted to make the permanent ones. You are so correct a lot of ppl will not tell you what string they use but you are awesome with the tips and secrets.

You are appreciated sis! I literally asked a girl on the gram what kind of string she used and she said she couldn't tell me because its propriety exact words she used. I was like seriously!?! Literally we don't make them exactly alike or anything I just asked about the string. Any time some one asks me I happily disclose any information that can help their business grow. I hate that our community has the crabs in the bucket mentality. Thank you for this!

I absolutely love this video!!! You are so sweet, kind hearted and unselfish.. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us..

Thank you for giving so many useful tips. I’m a native beader and my friend asked me to make her some waist beads and I had no idea what I was doing.

Thank you for sharing. Appreciation and Gratitude.

Excellent explanation of everything from beginning to end. You are not a selfish person May the good Lord continue to cover you in his precious Blood.

I absolutely love your authenticity

I love your attitude!💜 You're going to do well. Keep that same energy and attitude and you will surpass so many others who wouldn't share information out of fear of someone doing better than them.

You are so dope to share this information! Thank you. I wish you nothing but success in your business.

God will definitely bless you for being a wealth of knowledge, if he has not already! 🙏🏾

I bought a bead spinner! It's a life SAVER!!

Thank you for mentioning the string! You are right, no one ever states what they use and there is enough money to go around!

God BLESS you! I have been through your same journey! I have the mercized string but not in the right weight. I have soooo many strings here in my house. Thank you so much for being so forthcoming!

sad that your camera died, I was really enjoying listening to you and watching you make this :)

Thank you! for for sharing and not being selfish, not a lot of people would do that you are helping others 👑🌹❣

Blessing and more blessing I appreciate your video it was so helpful for me. I love watching to perfect my craft. I can’t wait for the elastic and adding the clasp video. I had the same experience with the string. I use that one and upholstery also. Your knot game is on point. Keep up the good work sis. Much Respect and thank you.

Thank you 🙏so much for this tutorial I have been struggling with my waistbeads made some for family but I am continually repairing theirs due to the materials I was using

Wow! You are simply amazing for doing this. I love your way of thinking and I pray that God will continue to bless you. You are not selfish and have lots of confidence. Thank you so much for sharing 😘😘😘😘😘

Happy Halloween 🎃 Enjoy 30% off our entire site!!! Until Sunday 11:59pm! (Vendors list included 🙃)

Thank you for this video. I started making waist beads over a year ago for weight lost but I couldn’t find the right string to keep it going so I always stuck with elastic but I like the thread better. I appreciate you dropping the jewels 😍😍

Yes. Im so happy I found this video because it’s been trial and error looking for a string

Your blessings will abundantly overflow . Ase '!

Thank you so much for this great video. I really want to make beads for myself. Maybe sell them eventually but this was so helpful. I’m praying your business is successful!

Thank you, yes!!!! Come on here! Enough money for everybody. I always say that.

I love this! Thank you thank you! I can totally relate to buying different string cause no one wants to share. I'm also trying to figure out the best elastic to use. Thank you so much for sharing and much success in your business

Thnk you for showing the process, it's a lot of work and you creativity put into the process. Definitely worth buying from you. Beautiful work!

You are a LIFE SAVER! I have been searching for the right string and now I know exactly what to get. I’m trying to start my business also but I wanted to make sure I had the right stuff cause I don’t have money to make too many mistakes. Thank you so much! You are my homegirl in my head and I’m definitely about to subscribe to your channel. Good luck in your business 🧡💛

This is fabulous and the source of beads was awesome

I'm glad that I came across your channel. I'm going to use waist beads to measure my weight loss after I have my baby in a couple months. I just purchased your Beading Starter Kit- excited to get started! I'm about 7 months pregnant so I have time to practice my skills.

This was such a humble video. I appreciate how you started this off. I will definitely be making me some.

Very cool, sis❤️ I’ve been making and selling waistbeads for about the past decade. I always use beading wire and add a clasp. They hold up REALLY well. I wear mine constantly. I may try the thread now though to see how I like it. Thanks 😊

Sis you gon win with this one thank you so much for this
