Miyuki Tila beads create an interesting design in this Spice Road bracelet. The square-shaped beads create a path of stunning style you'll want to add to every ensemble. Pair your Tila beads with your favorite Artbeads Designer Seed Bead Blend to add your own twist to this fun design.

Then, string three seed beads from the Warm Metals Designer Seed Bead Blend onto the thread. Bring your needle down through the second stringing hole of the Tila bead.
Add another Tila bead to the thread, then bring your needle back down through the second stringing hole of the first Tila bead added.
Go up through the stringing hole of the next Tila bead once more. Then, add three seed beads to thread and go down through the second stringing hole.
Add another Tila bead to the thread, then go back down through the second stringing hole of the previous Tila bead. Repeat steps two through four until your bracelet is the desired length.
