These beads lend themselves to a wide range of techniques: peyote weaving, brick stitch, right angle weave. Their double hole allows for unique layering and relief effects. Combine them with a suitable clasp to enhance your creations.

We've put together a complete beginner's lesson for you: learn how to thread on elastic cord and make your first Half Tila bracelet step by step!
Which thread to use for Half Tila beads?
The choice of yarn depends on your project. For traditional weaving, choose C-LON or Miyuki wire, which offer excellent resistance and slide perfectly through the holes. For elastic bracelets, opt for a fine 0.5mm elastic thread. Linhasita waxed thread is also suitable for creations requiring several passes.
How many Half Tila beads for a woman's bracelet?
The quantity of beads required depends on several factors: wrist size, type of mounting (elastic or clasp) and desired bracelet style.
With their 2.3mm width, Half Tila beads thread compactly. For a simple bracelet on elastic wire, suitable for a standard wrist, plan on a base of 60 to 75 beads.
For a bracelet with a clasp, count 55 to 70 beads, depending on the size of the clasp. We always recommend a few extra beads for a perfect fit.
