    Hi, I’m a rosary maker who also knots in between each bead and your tweezer trick has helped me a lot.

    Thank you so so much for this video. I bought my mala (blue lapis)when the Jade Buddha was here in South Florida, many years ago, and they broke. I have researched and purchased every thread that they claim will stand up to semi-precious beads. None last very long. Your video is the first and only one I needed to watch. I can, now, restring my mala and know it will last. Thank you, thank you, thank you❣

    Thank you very much for making this video! I have made my own Mala Beads using your technique and I love how it turned out. I will also be making rosaries using your technique as my old ones were made with too much spaces between the knots since I didn't know that you can use a tweezer to tighten the knots. Thank you again!

    The whole reason I'm wanting to make my own is because all the commercial ones seem to use nylon, only for the video to suggest nylon as well. Why not natural fibers like hemp, jute, cotton, etc?
