In this guide, we’ll show you how to measure yourself at home using simple tools like string and a ruler to ensure your bracelets, anklets, or waist beads fit perfectly every time.
Gather Your Supplies
Before you start, gather these basic items:
String or yarn
Ruler or measuring tape
Scissors (optional)
Measuring for Bracelets and Anklets
Wrap the String: Gently wrap the string around your wrist or ankle for a snug, comfortable fit. Avoid pulling too tightly to prevent inaccuracies.
Mark the Length: Mark the point where the string meets itself with a pen or marker.
Measure the String: Lay the string flat against a ruler or measuring tape and record the measurement in inches.
Adjust for Comfort: For a slightly looser fit, add ¼ to ½ inch to your measurement.
Repeat for Accuracy: Repeat the process 2–3 times and use the average measurement for best results.
Measuring for Waist Beads
Wrap the String: Stand in front of a mirror and wrap the string around your waist at the point where you plan to wear your waist beads. Keep it snug but not tight.
Mark the Length: Mark the spot where the string meets itself to form a loop.
Measure the String: Remove the string and lay it flat against a ruler or measuring tape. Record the measurement in inches.
Adjust for Comfort: Consider adding ¼ to ½ inch for comfort and movement.
