Introduction: Threading a Guru Bead 1
A guru bead is a three holed bead that is used to finish Buddhist malas or prayer beads.
Also known as the 'mother bead'.
To complete you will need:
1 guru bead (plus tower)
1 length of thin beading wire
string
Step 1: Shape the Wire
Twist the wire around itself so it is a needle shape.
use your fingers to make a curve at the end.
At the other end thread string through wire loop.
Step 2:
Thread wire through one side of bead.
The curve should allow it to come out through the central hole.
Pull the string through.
Step 3:
Repeat with the other side of the bead.
Step 4: All Done
Thread the tower .
This can also be done with a small hook see my other instructions.
Done.
