Create elegant, contemporary bead weaves with these Miyuki Tila Black Labrador Full beads, perfect for creations with intense, metallic highlights.
Available in Full Labrador finish, a metallic coating with light-changing reflections, these square Japanese beads offer a sober yet sophisticated look, quite different from a simple solid color.
Miyuki Tila Beads are flat square beads with two holes, measuring 5 x 5 x 1.9 mm. Their double perforation allows for a variety of settings, including parallel row weaving or brickwork. Their regular shape facilitates alignment and the construction of homogeneous surfaces.
Creative ideas with Tila Beads
These beads lend themselves well to the creation of structured bracelets, combining them with seed beads or crystals to play on contrasts of texture and brilliance. For earrings, they can be used to create geometric pendants with clean lines, alone or combined with drop pearls to vary the volume. They can also be alternated with Half Tila beads to create embossed patterns or checkerboard effects.
Tutorials and technical sheets are available to help beginners and more experienced beadworkers alike to master weaving thread tension, choose the right needle and manage finishing touches. Practical advice on choosing the right backing, weaving regularly and organizing the work surface will help you progress at your own pace.
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 Beads bags.
10 g bag (approx. 110-120 beads).
