Tila beads are one of those simple little jewelry components with oh-so-much creative potential.
They are just 5x5mm square beads with two parallel holes, but wow, all the different ways they can be combined together….
I’ve made a Tila Bead Idea Pinterest board with a few clever ideas that I’ve pinned. My favorites are the ones where the beads are turned on the diagonal.
In the video I’ll give a bit more detail about these beads. You definitely want to give them a try!
A few examples of the tilas out there:
- Crystal Vitrail Tila Beads
(these are the ones I show in the video)
- Matte Metallic Khaki Iris Tila Beads
(one of my favorite finishes)
- Picasso Seafoam Green Matte Tila Beads
If you’d like to learn more, here is an interesting interview of the designer of the Czechmates System. She shows many examples of her work and explains how all the beads work together.
Enjoy the video and happy creating.
You can watch the Friday Findings-Tila Beads video over at YouTube.
Wow. The examples on your pinterest page are amazing.
I know! People get really, really creative with these beads. I don’t do a lot of seed beading, but these make me want to experiment.
