Ingredients
Materials
- 1 set Glass beads in various colors Easy to find at craft stores
- 1 roll Fishing line or sturdy string Provides strength and longevity
- 1 piece Scissors For precise cutting
- optional Wire For a stiffer structure, if desired
- optional Small charms or pendants For added decoration, if desired
Instructions
Preparation
- Choose a quiet spot with good light. Lay out your materials and inhale the calm around you.
- Snip a length of fishing line or string that feels comfortable to handle, aiming for 2-3 feet.
- Select a collection of beads that speaks to you. Consider patterns or a random assortment.
- Begin sliding beads onto the line, feeling the smoothness as they move toward the center.
- Once you’ve strung enough beads, tie a secure knot at the end to hold everything in place.
- Shape your sun walker into a natural curve, allowing the beads to hang freely.
- If desired, attach any charms or pendants before securing the final knot.
- Tie a sturdy knot at the top for hanging your sun walker and trim any excess string.
Notes
These sun walkers can also serve as beautiful gifts. To preserve them, take them down during extreme weather and store them in a soft fabric pouch to avoid scratches. You can modify them seasonally by swapping out beads or charms based on your mood.
