    Wow ! Harini, looks pretty !!

    I remember having one thread made mala in my child hood, maroon color, I used to wear it during important occasions since it was my precious belonging !! I will feel beautiful wearing it . A wide grin will always be in my face....

    Gifted to one of my younger cousin.

    2.Spread little fabric clue inside the wooden ball.

    3. Cut around 8 nos 1 min thread.

    4.stick one end of the thread inside the wooden ball and allow it to dry for a min.

    5.After it is dry completely cover the wooden ball with the thread.If needed we can use needle to string the thread in the wooden ball.

    6.Complete all the wooden balls and also the wooden rings.

    I have made this as necklace as my order was for that.If we need Mala we will have to make the connector little longer and add pearls or wooden bead according to our wish.

    For dollar also I have used only the silk thread.We can use kundan stones also to decorate in the center.

    Hope I have written a clear procedure. If you have any doubts I am here to answer.:wave:

    @Harini ,

    It is always a pleasure to watch an artist at work...My mind is not this intricate when it comes to hand work.. Yours is a very detailed instructions that I felt like getting directly from an artwork/ jewelry expert !!

    With a mind of creativity , you could never ever think ill of any body ! This is the main purpose of any body's life. That is why Art is regarded as a Penance which takes us to the Supreme ...


    Thank you,

    Regards,

    Pavithra
