Miyuki Tila beads make a rich statement when paired with golden accents in this luxurious bracelet design. This design is a variation of Cynthia's Spice Road project. For a sleek finishing touch, she used Cymbal components on each end to easily add the clasp of her choice.
String a Miyuki 5mm Tila transparent Picasso coated seed bead onto your length of thread. Use about three feet of thread with a needle on the end. Then, string three TOHO 11/0 bead rounds in silver-lined topaz 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 top of 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 the 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, keeping in mind you will be adding a Tila bead to each end to add the clasp at the end. The clasp also adds about one inch in length.
Your thread should be coming out of the bottom of the last Tila bead added to the row. Add three seed beads to the thread, followed by a Tila bead.
Add three seed beads to the thread, then go through the second stringing hole of the Tila bead. Add three seed beads to the thread, then go through the first stringing hole of the last Tila bead in the first row. Make sure you don't go through any of the seed beads, just the Tila bead.
