I got to work today and my friend came visiting, she said she wanted a waist bead and said I must get it done for her, well I have all the necessary tools for this waist bead then I decided to get it done for me, she has been disturbing me for this and I have been postponing her for long.
I brought out my tools and I have some beads that I used for a client which remain so I decided to use the bead and combine other ones for her.
I have three different types of beads which I will combine for this project
These are the tools I used for this project
The scissor is used to cut the fishing line while I have my fishing line, fishing line is the thread used in combining the beads, and I have matches as well, which will be used to burn the tips of the fishing line to avoid it from removing.
Since I am making waist beads I do not have much to do because this does not take much time, I just need to be creative with the beads, I sat for a minute to think of how I will combine the beads to make it so perfect for the waist.
Since the beads are so beautiful and it is ultraviolet beads, they bring light at night but the small ceramic doesn't, so I decided to mix them, I started with the star-shaped bead because it seems small, unlike the other ones, after the star-shaped bead then I added the other bead with ceramic in between them
And this is how I did for all the beads till I finished fixing it on the fishing line and it came out really beautiful
Since my friend is around I decided to test the bead on her waist to know the exact measurements I will be using for her, well if she was not with me I could have used the elastic line for her and also she said she wanted it on fishing line that was her preference, so I decided to go with her choice.
This is when I measure her waist with the bead to know if it fits perfectly or if I will need to add more beads or reduce from it because the bead must be her exact shape it must fit perfectly.
Now the bead is her exact shape no addition and no reduction, then the next thing is to tie the tip together and use the light to seal the tip to prevent the bead from removing.
And this is the outcome of the waist bead.
I was glad that I did this for her and she was so grateful in the end, she loved it and I was happy because her satisfaction is my top priority.
