    Yes, or your wish won't come true. Beads are really cheap, and you can buy them just about anywhere. I would recommend getting them from the dollar store or your local craft store.

  • Question
    What is causing beads to fall off my wish bracelet?
    Community Answer
    The beads are probably falling off because the braid and knot at the end are not secure enough. Try to tighten these parts of the bracelet to fix your problem.
  • Question
    Can I use regular string for a wish bracelet?
    Community Answer
    Yeah, of course! It is your bracelet, so customize it to your preference. You can get any type of string from any craft store, just make sure that your beads fit on the string.
  • Question
    Does this actually work, and if so, how extreme can the wishes be and how long do they take to be granted?
    Community Answer
    The wish is supposed to be granted when then last bead falls off. You are supposed to let it wear out on its own though. As for how "extreme" the wishes are, well that depends on what you mean by that but you're probably not going to suddenly get a $5 million home just suddenly get willed to you. But you never know...
  • Question
    What will cause the beads to fall off?
    Community Answer
    Just wearing it around a lot. If you wear sleeves or other bracelets that touch it a lot those could wear it out faster, causing the beads to fall off. The same could be said if you just fiddle with it a lot.
  • Question
    What causes the beads to fall off?
    Community Answer
    Hemp is not a very strong fiber, so when wearing the bracelet, it will wear down and eventually break.
  • Question
    Can I make a wish bracelet with yarn instead of hemp?

  • Question
    Even when it is a new day can you still wish on the same bracelet that you wished on yesterday?

    Community Answer
    The legend says that when you tie it around your wrist and make a wish, that wish comes true. So when you're putting it on, make a wish to keep the legend going, which means you only put one wish per bracelet.
