How to Make an Authentic Mala | Bead World Tutorial

How to Make an Authentic Mala! 📿
For this tutorial, we’ll go step by step on how to create a gorgeous mala. Traditionally, mala’s are crafted with a simple hand knot. For this tutorial, we’ll be using seed beads instead so there will still be a perfect amount of space between each bead. We hope you find this tutorial easy to follow along with and most importantly fun!

Nice tip about the Tassel's Loop going through. I'm so new to Beading and every tip is so appreciated. Thank you 😊 much.

Am I missing it? I noticed that the 7mm spacer beads were not included in the above "Materials Used" list. I am referring to the spacer beads that are on each end of the guru bead. This would be very helpful for those of us that are ordering online and cannot visit your store.

[@beadworld9012]

Thank you so much for your comment! The spacer beads can be found online by searching “18k gold plated 7mm nugget” 🤍

Hi I used to make jewelry out of beads and I was wondering if I should make my own Mala or if I should buy it on Amazon. What I noticed is that you're not using one of those long needles there are beading needles where you can bead multiple beads together and put them on the string. I'm visually impaired so it would be hard for me to make this. Is there a specific reason why you're not using one of those long beading needles?

[@beadworld9012]

Hey! To answer your first question, I think you’d enjoy making your own Mala since you get to pick out the beads you want to use and it’d be more meaningful! I guess it just mostly depends on if you want to make it yourself or not! Either way is fine. In this particular tutorial, our instructor chose not to use a long needle like you described. This also is just a preference so if it would be better for you to use a long needle then that’s perfectly fine!

Does anyone know how much cord you need for working with 8mm beads?

[@beadworld9012]

You could probably use about 6-8 feet!

[@agskater1914]

Hello, do you offer an in-person class in Long Beach or LA on how to make these? Thank you

[@beadworld9012]

Hey! Unfortunately we only have our in-person classes at our Phoenix and Scottsdale locations.

[@agskater1914]

@@beadworld9012 okay thank you

[@beadworld9012]

@@agskater1914 no problem!

[@Tseringlhatso]

Great video. Most traditional malas in my Tibetan Buddhist background use 3x36 beads rather than 4x27.

[@beadworld9012]

Thank you for your comment! ❣️

[@user-df8dd4ce2z]

how much cord do you need?

[@user-yk3cj7um1p]

Did anyone find out how much cord you need?

[@beadworld9012]

We recommend using 5 feet of cord! ❣️
