Enhance your Miyuki bead weaves with these Half Tila Crystal Graphite Rainbow, whose rainbow reflections on a graphite background add unique depth to your DIY jewelry.
Their smoky graphite hue, enhanced by a rainbow effect that changes according to the angle of the light, creates a play of reflections ranging from anthracite gray to iridescent shades of violet, green and copper. These Half Tila Miyuki beads measure 5 x 2.3 x 1.9 mm and come in a flat rectangular shape with two parallel holes, making them easy to integrate into multi-pass weaving structures. They are half the size of Tila beads and twice the size of Quarter Tila beads.
What can you do with Half Tila beads?
Half Tila beads lend themselves well to the creation of structured point necklaces or herringbone bracelets, where their double perforation allows the construction of precise geometric patterns. Combined with black or silver rocailles, they are ideal for sober, graphic compositions. They can also be combined with faceted crystals to bring out their iridescent reflections in a woven bracelet or necklace.
Whether you're new to bead weaving or already have a good deal of experience, tutorials and technical sheets are available to guide you every step of the way. You'll find practical advice on choosing the right thread, managing tension when weaving, making the most of the Half Tila's two holes, and tips on how to achieve even, neat results.
Warning:
Because of their shape, the fineness of the glass and the drilling (2 holes), Tila beads are more fragile than other Miyuki beads.
To prevent the beads from cracking or chipping, Miyuki recommends treating the bags with the utmost care.
The use of a beading mat is strongly recommended when emptying Tila bags.
Sold in 10 g bags (approx. 250 beads).
