... here you will find all instructions with material lists - all items with one click into the shopping cart
Tila beads from Miyuki are square beads with a size of 5 x 5 mm. The special feature of these beads is that they have two threading holes. Due to their shape, the beads are particularly suitable for geometrically inspired patterns. The range for patterns becomes even wider when you combine the Tila beads with Half Tila beads. These are the narrower version of the Tilas, but also with two thread holes. You get additional combination options with Cymbal's perfectly matched metal elements. The basic threading technique for these bracelets is always the same. We show you the basic instructions here. You can choose the pattern freely and combine it with Cymbal elements.
You can thread a bracelet of any width. From one row to five or even seven rows, you are completely free in your design. In this basic pattern we show the threading direction with two rows of Tila beads. The best threads to use are the Fireline threads from Beadsmith or the Wildfire threads from Beadalon. You will definitely need a beading needle for threading, so that you can thread the thread safely and easily through the threading holes.
In the graphic we have shown the thread in black when you thread up and gray when you thread down with the same thread. The goal is to connect one column of Tila beads with the column to the left. Therefore you start in column one and then thread directly down in column two. To complete the connection, thread up again in column one.

In the next step you will see how another column of beads is added. The principle is always the same. You can thread any number of columns. The black lines again show the thread when you thread upwards, the gray lines show the same thread when the threading direction is downwards.
When you thread a bracelet, it makes sense to thread cymbal end pieces into the end of the bracelet. You can easily attach any desired clasp to the end pieces. When you thread a fingering you connect the two ends of the beads with the same technique.
