TILA FLOWER BANDS

©2012, updated 2017 Deborah Roberti

Use size 11/0 seed beads, Miyuki Tila beads and SuperDuo (or Twin) beads to make two different bands. You can substitute the new 5x5mm Tile Mini beads for Tila beads if you prefer a thicker and less delicate two-hole tile bead. This pattern is fully illustrated pattern with detailed step-by-step instructions for both bands.

Stitch: ladder stitch

Beads Used: Size 11 seed beads, Miyuki Tila beads (or 5x5mm Tile Mini beads) and SuperDuo beads (or Twin beads)

Approx Finished Size: The thinner band is about .75 inches wide and the fatter band is about 1.25 inches wide; length as desired.

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.
