Retired - Sahara Tila Bracelet

PROJECT B630
Designer: Julie Bean
Skill Level: Intermediate
This wide cuff bracelet catches the eye and captures the imagination with its desert inspired color scheme. The contrast of matte finish and high luster Tila beads adds a dramatic punch and emphasizes this bracelets modern appeal.
Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

You will want to measure your wrist before beginning this project. Since this is a cuff, you will want it fit somewhat snug so that it will keep its shape. Decide how large you want it to be. The clasp will add about 1/2".
  1. To begin, cut as long of a length of Wildfire white beading thread as you are comfortable working with. This project will require you to end your thread and begin a new one several times. I chose to work with 7 feet of beading thread at a time, any longer then that and it seemed too much for me. Please also watch the video: How to Tie Off and Add a New Thread in Bead Weaving. Thread your size 12 beading needle onto the thread (you might need to flatten the thread to do this, the video below will show you how).
  2. Please watch the video: How to Make a Cuff Bracelet Using Tila Beads. This video showcases this particular bracelet and how to bead weave your Tila Beads, Czech glass beads, 15/0 and 11/0 Miyuki Delicas together. Please follow what you learn in the video and make your bracelet. The video also showcases how to attach the clasp. Please follow the instructions to make your entire bracelet.
  3. A couple tips: do not be tempted to use a larger needle, the thinner size 12 needle will make the required multiple passes through beads easier. When you get to your desired bracelet length, tie off the thread and start a new one for the attachment of the clasp.
