jeans_redux Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hey all I was inspired by Glassjaw's hose cover, so I decided to do something to mine. I tried doing the whole thing beads, but about 1/3rd of the way through (and quite a bit of beading), the thread broke So I tried again, this time with fewer beads, but I used the prettier ones.[attachment=986:0125082337.jpg]The beads/thread match my hookah, which is gold/green/clear.

Tati Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 That looks awesome!!!Did you just bead and wrap? Or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeans_redux Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 Just bead and wrap. I was thinking hot glue, but it really wasn't budging (plus I want to be able to re-arrange the beads if I feel like it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassjaw Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) I know you said the thread broke, but I wish there were more beads.Looking nice though. Edited January 26, 2008 by Glassjaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeans_redux Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 yeah now that I look at it I wish there were more beads, but it was frustrating me at the time. I like how it turned out nonetheless! I could do a second pass with the string if I wanted...give it more gold underneath, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr!m Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Cool, I like it. I'm planning on customizing my hose as well. Giving me some good ideas. I have a cheap fifi hose that came with my hookah but I still want people to think, "whoa, cool hose where did you buy it?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eifah Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I want to do a hose mod too, but I'm not really crafty at all. I have the cobra hose I think, the one that came with the egyptian hookah from H-S. Any ideas other than fuzzy stuff or beads? (maybe something more manly ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeans_redux Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 I realized that this wouldn't be a lot of people's "thing" but I like how it turned out anyways It was a cheap hose and I can just cut the knots if I ever want to change it. Eifah: For a more manly hose, you could just wrap it with a piece of thread (one of your favorite colors, maybe?). Or if you're really ambitious, you could get some fabric, sew it into a tube roughly the size of your hose, slip it on, then wrap the thread over it. That way it still has the bumpy texture, but you could use any fabric you want! Camo would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Pretty cool.This is a selfwrapped hose. My buddy and I worked on it.It was so plain before, now its feel completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(maybe something more manly )split it into 2 pipes, put one half into a keg and the other into the hookah...or just tape a brick to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsboy Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Doesn't this topic belong in the "women" only thread? J/K. I thought about making my shishas look good. especially the ghetto hoses that I have but then, I got too lazy. As long as it smokes good. I do not care how it looks.The idea is nice but I agree with most more beads would look better as long as it is durable. The hose usually goes through alot of abuse.
