How to Wear: Baha'i Prayer Beads



The design of my Baha'i Prayer Beads wasn't done with having a wearable piece in mind. However, later on I discovered that they can double wrap around most people's wrists! So the goal of this post is to try and explain how it's possible.



Step 1:


Lay the prayer beads over your wrist, giving the side with the loop more length. (Focus on the Tassel and Loop ends; internal bead pattern varies so don't use it when following this guide).


Step 2:


Wrap the beads around the wrist twice, leaving the Tassel and Loop hanging downwards away from your hand.


Step 3:



Put the Tassel end through the Loop, being careful not to apply too much pressure to the Tassel which tends to be more fragile (should a Tassel fall off, it will not effect the bead body which is separate). Be sure to bring the loop up at least two beads, or more, depending on how tight you want it to fit.


Step 4:



Pull the Tassel upwards. You are then going to take the Tassel end, including the beads which the Loop separates, and thread them back through the Loop going the same direction as when you first put them through. If you only separated one bead, the piece might fall off your wrist, which is why two or more beads is ideal.


Step 5:



The beads are now secure around your wrist and shouldn't fall off! I wear my set for entire days at length, sometimes even sleeping in them, and have yet to have them slip from my wrist!
