DIY Mala Making Instructions

You Will Need:

  • Two small bowls
  • Sharp scissors
  • A needle (to untie knots if needed)
  • A lighter or match

Suggested Mala Pattern:

Your mala will consist of 108 beads, plus 3 metal markers and a guru bead. The beads are divided into four equal quadrants (108 ÷ 4 = 27).

Step-by-Step Assembly:

  1. Prepare Your Cord

    • Open and stretch the cord, starting needle-side first.
    • Wrap about 8 inches (20 cm) of cord around a card to fasten later.
  2. Start at the Top of the Mala

    • Identify the top center bead opposite the guru bead.
    • Place one metal marker bead (#55) at the end of the cord.
    • Do not knot after the marker yet.
  3. String the Beads

    • Add one main gemstone bead next to the marker.
    • Insert a seed bead “knot” and push it close to the next bead.
    • Tighten after each bead, repeating 27 times to form the first quadrant.
  4. Place the Remaining Markers

    • After every 27 beads, add a metal bead marker to create four quadrants.
  5. Attach the Guru Bead and Tassel

    • Thread the three-holed guru bead and tassel as shown in the tutorial.
  6. Complete the Mala

    • String the beads and seed bead “knots” back up for the next two quadrants.
    • Knot back through the top metal marker to secure.
    • Cut off excess thread and burn the end with a lighter or match to fasten.

No glue required! Store your finished mantra mala in the provided pouch when not in use.
