ELLIPSE BANDS

©2025 Deborah Roberti

Use size 15/0 and 11/0 Miyuki (rocaille) seed beads, 3mm beads and Miyuki Tila beads to make this versatile band that you can easily change up with different beads, from Boho to bling. Substitution instructions are also included at the end of the step-by-step directions for subbing in stacks of Quarter and Half Miyuki Tila beads. You can also super-size the band by subbing in size 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads, 4mm beads and either 6x6mm Czech 2-hole Tile beads or 3x6mm Czech 2-hole Brick beads. Once you get the hang of the stitch repeat, you can create your own variations with ease!

NOTE: Bead colors and coatings (and even bead types!) seem to be disappearing at a rate that I can no longer keep up with. I try to find substitutes when I can but "discontinued" seems to be the norm these days.
