Hi everyone! Today's review is a little different, it's not a beauty product but jewellery- which is a nice change! I really do like jewellery, there's something special about finishing off an outfit with your favourite piece of jewellery.
Nalu Beads are a brand that sell different collections of beads inspired by different holiday breaks and 'the sea and it's ever changing moods and beauty from season to season.' All the different collections are quite different and each one is just stunning! I chose The Islands Collection, apart from the green beads that I don't like as much. I really like each of the beads that I have and they make such a lovely bracelet. I think my favourite thing about the brand is that they send you the thong and the beads not made up, so you can tie your bracelet however you want. For ideas on how to tie your beads click here. I will attempt to show you how I did it below-
Start off by folding both pieces of thong in half. Tie them at the end as shown above.
Put the two shorter strands in the middle and pull the longer strands out on either side.
With the two longer threads, tie it as shown above and pull the knot tight. Repeat this knot over and over. If you want it to be a flat knot like I have then alternate the side that you start the knot on. If you want it to be a twisty knot then start on the same side each time.
When you are ready, thread a bead on and carry on the knot over the bead.
When you have finished just tie it off and cut off any excess thong!
I would recommend you measure your wrist first and think about when you want the beads to start or you will end up finishing the bracelet and having to do it over again like me because it was to long and not equal on each side!
The quality of the beads and thong seems really good and I love the creativity that you need to make it and that you don't just buy it made. It would make a really good gift!
The beads cost between about £9.95 each and £12.95. This is quite pricey if you buy multiple beads like I have and the thong (£2.75) but I think it is worth the money! You can purchase them here.
Really hope you enjoyed this post and found the picture instructions helpful!
