How to use Tila square pearl tips?

Lately you have seen many new metal tips and beads. These finishing tips are intended for different types of glass beads. Most of the best known glass beads exist. In particular, here, the Miyuki Tilas pearls. These tips are exactly the right size for the rectangular Tilas beads to fit in. This allows more neat and solid finishes for your bracelets and necklaces. There are also metal beads of the same size which can replace a Tila bead in a weaving to give even more charm to your creation!

In this tutorial we show you how to weave a bracelet in flat square beads with these end caps and these metal beads . You are free to let your imagination speak afterwards!

Attention the Tilas Sunset Mat beads used in this tutorial change colors when you touch their copper coating. It changes from orange to metallic powder pink and loses intensity. Avoid handling them too much if you decide to use them.

This tutorial can be done without a weaving needle with 0.17 mm fishing line or with a size 10 weaving needle and a 0.12 mm size wire .

Step 1 :
Cut 1.7 m of nylon thread. Pass it through the hole on the leftmost tip, thread 4 seed beads 11/0, continue in the hole. Keep 10 cm of the end of the wire.

2nd step :
Go through the other hole and put on a Tila bead. With the end of the thread, pass through the Tila pearl then through the rockeries, tie a knot with the thread passing from one hole to the other and repeat the tower in the Tila pearl and in the rockeries with the end of the thread before cut it.

Step 3:
With the longest part of the thread, thread a new Tila pearl and go through the second hole of the already threaded Tila pearl.

Step 4:
Then put on a third Tila bead, return to the tip, the first bead and the rest of the tip.

Step 5:
Iron in the last Tila beads and the second hole of the first. Then thread a fourth Tila bead between the two Terracotta beads.

Step 6:
Thread a new pearl, go through the second hole of the pearl previously threaded, then another new pearl and return to the third pearl to go down and take another turn.

Step 7:
Repeat steps 4 to 6. For the eighth central bead, thread a rose gold metal bead. Then, in the center you will add 2 Tilas beads then a metal bead and so on until you have threaded 5 metal beads. Then finish with 7 new Tila beads in the center so that the bracelet is symmetrical.

Step 8:
Finish the bracelet by adding the end piece always with the same method and by adding 4 seed beads 11/0 at the end. Tie a knot with the already woven thread, iron your thread in the beads several times and cut it. Add the clasp and extension chain with open rose gold rings.

Notes: Remember to tighten your weaving tightly and to replace your pearls as you go.
