Create your own glowing DIY jewelry with these square Miyuki Tila glass beads in transparent red with an AB finish. Their two holes make it easy to weave bracelets, earrings, and necklaces with geometric patterns.
Their flat shape with sharp angles forms regular squares, crafted from glass tinted throughout in shades of cherry and translucent garnet. The AB finish adds an iridescent sheen that shifts with the light, featuring subtle hints of pink. Each bead measures 5 x 5 mm and is 1.9 mm thick, with two 0.8 mm holes, allowing multiple strands to be threaded through and aligned side by side. Made in Japan, these Miyuki beads are designed to be paired with Half Tila and Quarter Tila beads.
Creative Ideas with Tila Beads
These beads are ideal for simple projects, such as a Miyuki Tila bracelet strung in parallel rows, or short earrings made from a few layered beads. When paired with seed beads and Delicas in similar shades, they can also be used to create a structured bangle bracelet. This translucent red pairs easily with gold, amber, or black tones to create a striking contrast.
Whether you’re new to bead weaving or already have experience, tutorials and technical guides are available to help you. There you’ll find tips on choosing thread and needles, the direction of thread passage through the two holes, managing tension, and finishing techniques—so you can work at your own pace.
Please note:
Due to their shape, the thinness of the glass, and the two-hole design, Tila Beads are more fragile than other Miyuki products.
To prevent the beads from cracking or chipping, Miyuki recommends handling the packets with the utmost care.
The use of a beading mat is strongly recommended when emptying the Tila Beads packets.
