TILA TIME BANDS

Tila Time Bands, design by Deb Roberti

Use size 11/0 seed beads and Miyuki Tila beads to create an array of fun Tila bead bands simply by changing the size of the Tila beads and/or stacking Quarter and Half Tila beads up in different combinations. Any brand of size 11/0 seed beads will work great as long as the seed beads are not on the small side but Toho brand seed beads work especially well because they are a wee bit fatter. The stitch repeat is easy and quick to follow and the pattern has detailed step-by-step directions from start to finish. Once you get the hang of the stitch repeat, you can create your own variations with ease!

Stitch: various

Beads Used: Size 11/0 seed beads and Miyuki Tila beads

Approx Finished Size: Varies depending on what size Tila beads you use but about .75 inches to an inch in width to desired length

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.
