Miyuki Half tila - Quarter Tila et Tila Bead Perles plates japonaises à 2 trous

Yes, Tila beads are ideal for beginners! Their large size makes them easy to handle, and their 2 holes offer plenty of room for threading. Start with a simple elastic bracelet using standard Tila beads: it's quick and rewarding, before moving on to more complex weaving projects.

Store your Miyuki Tila beads in their original tube or in compartmentalized boxes, away from direct light, humidity and heat. Special finishes (Metallic, AB, Galvanized) are more fragile: avoid contact with perfumes, seawater or chemicals. Well-preserved, your beads will retain their beauty for years to come.

The difference lies in their size: standard Tila are square (5x5mm), Half Tila are rectangular and half the size (5x2.3mm), while Quarter Tila are even thinner (5x1.2mm). All have 2 parallel holes and the same 5mm width, making them totally compatible with each other.

The choice of wire depends on your project. For elastic bracelets, use 0.5mm or 0.8mm diameter elastic thread, depending on the desired thickness. For needle weaving (brick stitch, peyote), choose specialized yarns such as Miyuki or C-LON. These threads withstand multiple passes through the 2 Tila holes without fraying.
