If you haven’t been chosen as one of our lucky winners just yet, don’t worry. We have plenty of giveaways left so keep staying tuned to the blog for your chance to win!

Today I’m really excited to share our Project of the Day from Bead&Button magazine. They have some of the most amazing bead weaving projects and this one is no exception! Follow along with this DIY bracelet tutorial to make a gorgeous Tila Bead Bracelet designed by Jane Danley Cruz!

Tila Temptation Bracelet Tutorial

Learn how to make a bracelet by stitching a colorful chevron chain bracelet using Tila beads, glass pearls, and seed beads.

Project of the Day: Tila Temptation Bracelet Tutorial

Materials:

Bracelet 7 1/2 in.

  • 34 Tila beads
  • 33 3 mm glass pearls, color A
  • 34 3 mm glass pearls, color B
  • 1 g size 11 seed beads
  • Clasp
  • Fireline 6 lb
  • Beading needles, #12

Instructions:

  1. On 1 yd. or Fireline, attach a stop bead leaving a 9 in tail. Pick up three size 11 seed beads and sew through the first hole of a Tila bead. Pick up three 11’s, a color A 3 mm pearl, and three 11’s, and sew through the second hole of the Tila bead. Pick up an 11, and sew through the first two 11’s added at the start of the first step. (figure 1, a-b)
  2. Pick up a color B 3 mm pearl, three 11’s, the first hole of a Tila bead, and an 11. Starting with the 11 your thread exited at the start or this step, skip five beads, and sew through the next two 11’s. Pick up a B and three 11’s and sew through the second hole of the Tila bead. Pick up an 11, skip an 11 in the previous row, and sew through the next two 11’s.
  3. Pick up an A, three 11’s, the first hole of a Tila bead, and an 11. Skip five beads, and sew through the next two 11’s. Pick up an A and three 11’s and sew through the second hole of the Tila bead. Pick up an 11, skip an 11 in the previous row and sew through the next two 11’s.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to the desired length, ending with step 2.

Clasp

  1. Sew through the previous B and three 11’s, the second hole of the second-to-last Tila bead; the following three 11’s, B, and three 11’s; and the second hole of the last Tila bead. (figure 2, a-b)
  2. Pick up seven 11’s and half of the clasp, and sew through the second hole of the Tila bead again. Retrace the thread path to reinforce the connection, and end the thread.
  3. Remove the stop bead, and repeat steps 1 and 2 on the other end of the bracelet.
