Editorial Review :
In Tibetan Buddhism, traditionally malas of 108 beads are used. Some practitioners use malas of 21 or 28 beads for doing prostrations. Doing one 108-bead mala counts as 100 mantra recitations, the extra repetitions done to amend any mistakes in pronunciation or other faults of recitation.Malas are mainly used to count mantras. These mantras can be recited for different purposes linked to working with mind. The material used to make the beads can vary according to the purpose of the mantras used. Some beads can be used for all purposes and all kinds of mantras. These beads can be made from the wood of the Bodhi tree (ficus religiosa), or from 'Bodhi' seeds, which is a misnomer as the seeds are from a tree related to the Rudraksha (Elaeocarpus ganitrus) and not the Bodhi tree (being a fig tree, its seeds are inside a tiny fig, and are minuscule). The scientific name of this tree, native to Nepal, is yet to be determined. Another general-purpose mala is made from another unknown seed, the beads themselves called 'Moon and Stars' by Tibetans, and variously called 'lotus root', 'lotus seed' and 'linden nut' by various retailers. The bead itself is very hard and dense, ivory coloured (which gradually turns a deep golden brown with long use), and has small holes (moons) and tiny black dots (stars) covering its surface. Prayer Mala or beads are usually used by Buddhists around the world especially in Tibet, Nepal and India and used for meditation, counting mantras, and prostration and those counters are especially for counting when you do prostration or in a retreat for counting mantras. Malas are worn on the left wrist while not in use. Please email me for more detail and i will be more than happy to assist you. Suggested Mantras for this mala * "Om Muni Muni Maha Muni ye soha" To Lord Buddha Shakyamuni * "Om Tare Turi Tutari Turi Soha" To White Tara * "Tayatha Om Pekatse Pekatse Maha Pekatse Raza Samu Gati Soha" To medicine Buddha.

Editorial Review :
If you want to start your European charm collection, or if you have run out of space for beads on your bracelet and need another, you will love this high quality .925 Sterling Silver snake bracelet with lobster claw clasp. Hand made in Italy, this 3 mm diameter bracelet is top quality and made to last. It will fit all major brand interchangeable beads - you know who they are. To determine the size bracelet you need, measure your wrist at the widest point and add 3/4" to 1" (depending upon how loose you like to wear your bracelets). Remember that each bead you add makes the bracelet fit a bit tighter, so leave plenty of space for your new pretties.

Questions & Answers
Question : I make beaded jewelry. What is the best way to sell it?
I've considered craft fairs/city festivals and the internet. Do you have any other creative ideas for places to sell beaded jewelry?
Answer:
Friends and Work are the best way to start out and spread word of mouth. Try church and school fairs where you can buy a table for the day. $10-$50/day The Craft Fairs/Festivals are usually a lot more expensive and you sometimes need to provide pictures of your work to apply. Etsy.com is a great way to put your stuff on the internet.

Question : I want to start my own business by selling beaded jewelry that i make. How would I do this?
I just turned 13 years old. I heard that my cousin who is one month younger than me opened up her own business by giving manicures/pedicures/and massages to family/friends and charging them money. I want to do the same thing, but I want to sell beaded bracelets that I make to friends, family, and people who just like beaded stuff. Are there any good websites that will teach me how to make my own little business? For free.I appreciate all the good answers but I also need any good, free websites that can teach me or give me ideas on how to make my jewelry. I already have all the supplies: beads, wiring, ect. I can always buy a book, but I'd prefer the internet.
Answer:
Ask your cousin what she did to start hers. One thought comes to mind, tho - When someone buys a manicure they need one again in a week or so. But when someone buys a bracelet, they have a bracelet, and may not need to buy another. So your cousin has a business that generates repeat customers, which is a great plan. Similar types of 'jobs' would be walking dogs, babysitting, etc., stuff that needs to be done over and over again, so you don't have to keep finding new customers.That being said, if you love making jewelry, and want to see how it goes, you can figure out what to charge for the pieces by taking into consideration the cost of the supplies (beads, wire, findings, etc.) and adding something for your time making it. However, I would not recommend making too much of a financial investment until you see how well it goes.good luck!

Question : How do I paint beaded board walls?
I need to paint beaded board walls. Some of the walls have cracks between the boards. None of the boards are popping loose. Each one is nailed; some just have huge cracks between them. When I try to paint it, the paint runs down between the cracks. Is there a special kind of sealer or caulk that is used for this type of wall? If so, is it paintable or must I keep all the walls white?
Answer:
Use paintable caulk for the wide cracks. (It works GREAT. Then prime with a roller with long shag pile. (You might need to use a brush if the roller doesn't get into some spots.) Then paint with a brush.Make sure it's the right paint for the room - if it's a kitchen or bath, make sure the paint is water resistant. Lesson learned for me - Don't skimp on the Primer.

Question : How can I find contacts to purchase my handcrafted Native American beaded jewelry?
My husband and I have a Native American crafts business that deals mostly in hand beaded jewelry. We normally travel the powwow trail but with gas prices the way they are it is making it very hard to cover expences. I have decided to try wholesaling my jewelry. I would still earn an honest living and cut out all the aggrivation of traveling. But have no idea how to reach contacts and let the word out. I do this full-time, so production is no problem. I have a paypal account already set up. Most of my bases are covered except getting product out on the market. Does anyone have realistic ideas or would even be interested?
Answer:
I would look into this site for crafters and other artisans to sell their work through. It is really really cheap to post listings. http://www.etsy.comIf you decide to do something like that, afterward I'd advertise yourself as much as you can online and however else, and submit your shop/page URL of it to freebie search engine submit things. Good luck! : )

Question : How would you paint a beaded curtain?
I bought this really cool wooden beaded curtain at a yard sale for 3 bucks, it has a good pattern, but its awful brown and oarnge color scheme has to go.
Answer:
Try spraying it a few strands at a time. Sherwin Williams has new spray cans with an adjustable "fan" tip which gives you better control. Hang it on a wire outside where you can separate the strands and mist it lightly over and over until it's covered. Dipping it might make it a runny mess and ruin it.

Question : How do i mail beaded bobby pins to a buyer on Ebay?
I make beaded bobby pins and I plan on selling them on Ebay. I need to know how to mail them once someone buys them. Because they are so small I don't want to mail them in a huge envelope because I think they'll charge me at the post office. Any suggestions?
Answer:
Small padded envelopes would work. You can mail them first class, which is not very expensive. That is what I do. And the BUYER can pay the postage, so you don't lose money. You just have to be sure you charge the right amount. Also, you might want to check out an alternative site - etsy. Unlike ebay, it charges quite low posting fees (only 20 cents per item) for a full 4 month listing and only 3.5% final value fee. Ebay charges more for listings and 8% - 9% for final value. But etsy is a 'flat price' site, not an auction site, so you need to be sure what you want to sell your item(s) for.http://help.etsy.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/136/session/L3NpZC81LTFQWVo2aw%3D%3D

Question : What is the best string to use for the beaded animal keychains?
I would like to do those little beaded animal keychains, but I am unsure as to what string I should use. I tried to use nylon crochet thread, but the ends fray. Is there a better string to use that wouldn't fray? I'm not the biggest fan of that plastic lanyard string either.
Answer:
I understand the problem you are having, I hate trying to tie knots in any type of plastic or nylon cord. One suggestion is regular crochet cotton or even embroidery floss (use all 6 strands).

Question : What kind of beaded jewelry would you buy?
I design and make beaded jewelry. While I've had some success with my pieces (both the gemstone and glass beaded pieces), I'm wanting to expand my hobby into an actual business. Please let me know what kinds of beaded jewelry appeal to you. I make necklaces, bracelets, rings, anklets, earrings and toe rings. The rings & toe rings are still pretty experimental, but the others have designs well underway, and I've made sales in those areas.Thanks everyone!
Answer:
do what i do and just make what feels good to you and wear it so people can ask where it came from! i like the beading with wire around them but cant figure out how to do it yet.
