I was born in a province of northern Thailand where coconut trees abound and people craft Buddha locket necklaces from coconut shells to sell. Now the people also craft bracelets, bags, belts and more. I [learned] to craft [these items] myself with my own original designs. Each coconut shell bead must be handmade one by one. For the different colors we have difference processes. For dark beads, I must fry them in vegetable oil and wash them more than three times before drying them in direct sunlight. Then I choose only quality beads to weave into my designs.' All weights and measurements are approximate and may vary slightly from the listed information.
