I went to a bead party not too long ago and I fell in love with these beads that adorn your waist. Unfortunately, not being used to having something wrapped around my waist, my little chain did not make it very long. I broke it on the first day and each bead went spilling onto the floor. Determined not to loose my purchase so quickly, I restrung the beads and put my little waist chain back together while discovering a new hobby at the same time. I love making African Waist Beads and here are a few of my first creations!
