After a first half tila 2 chevrons bracelet tutorial, and a second to learn how to make an odd weave in half tila chevrons, we're ending our series dedicated to chevron tutorials with a tutorial still made by our partner designer Mariette!
This tutorial can be made with classic Fireline 0.12 thread or Elonga 0.30mm elastic thread. If you choose the elastic version, here are Mariette's recommendations:
- you don't need to measure your hand before weaving the bracelet, as it will be elastic. Measure the length to be woven by taking the length directly on your arm at the height where you want to wear it
- use a needle with a large eye
- take enough length to weave the whole bracelet and to make the surgeon's knot at the end
- tighten the elastic thread evenly with each row, otherwise the bracelet may wobble
- practice making the surgeon's knot in advance - don't pull too hard on both strands once the knot is made (risk of breaking the elastic).
If you choose to weave your bracelet with Fireline thread, you can use a size 10 Tulip needle. To close the bracelet, you won't need to make a knot. You can simply zigzag the thread through a dozen or so beads.
The steps of this tutorial are available below, but for greater clarity, feel free to download the pdf to access the illustrated steps.
IF you make this bracelet, don't hesitate to share your creation with us on social networks!
To begin, thread a bead of a different color from those intended for weaving. This will lock the beads in place when you start.
Thread the bead and iron it once in the same direction.
Choose Miyuki Half Tila rectangular beads and Miyuki 15/0 Seed beads.
Thread one Seed bead, one Half Tila and then three Seed beads.
Pass the needle through the free hole in the last Half Tila thread.
Don't pull the wire all the way up against the starter bead. Thread one Seed beads and one
Half Tila.
Pass the needle through the first Seed beads in place. Then turn the weave over.
Thread two Seed beads.
Pass the needle through the free hole in the previous Half Tila.
Thread a Seed beads and a Half Tila.
Pass the needle through the next Seed beads, the one on its own. Then turn the weave over again.
Gently pull on both ends of the thread so that the beads sit securely in place. Thread two Seed beads and pass the needle through the free hole of the last Half Tila in place.
Thread a Seed beads and a Half Tila, then pass the needle through the Seed beads alone. Turn the weave over once more.
Thread two Seed beads and pass the needle through the free hole of the last Half Tila in place.
