I’m new to beading and found this video when looking for a Tila tutorial. This is FANTASTIC!! Thank you for being so thorough and descriptive, this was incredibly helpful and I will keep coming back to it for reference. Thank you again!!

[@karenpiotrowski]

Thanks for making such a great easy to understand video

[@suem.3651]

First time watching you. I’ve watched several similar videos. You did the best job covering both pattern tips AND using Stretch Magic. I just made one using the size 7. But even though I used tiles on the end , my knots are still too big for them. Right away, I heard you say to use size 5 to prevent that. Should have watched you first! I Subscribed.

[@carrikeaton3724]

I'm a long time beader, but struggle with stretchy. This was great!! Thank you!

[@AbbiBerta]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

[@minkaf4243]

Me too. This helped me understand how to work with elastic cord. Thank you!

[@patriciarochelle6084]

Sure cute bracelet, Abbi! Really good video with excellent and thorough teaching! Really enjoyed this!

[@AbbiBerta]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MoniqueAO888]

Interesting video... ...I am not sure, if you mentioned that Tila-Beads have an up- and a down-side: you can see it in the close-up at ~ 5:00 - it's quite important to the design.

[@danaspence9431]

Thank you fun to watch you !!!very informative

[@AbbiBerta]

Thank you!

[@martamccool2740]

Elastic is very flexible but after some time it tent to break, that’s what I prefer to do it with clasp

[@heididay6827]

So cute and as usual a great video!

Love your video!! Clear and up close and a great teacher!! Thank you!! See you in summer!

[@carolinecharley9420]

Does it matter which way to bead cause it seems like the Tilas have a flatter side than the other. Awesome bracelets.

[@jamiecee4960]

Beautiful Bracelets.

[@Lukresia909]

This is really helpful, thanks!!!❤

[@viviandibrell849]

Thank you! Such pretty designs!

[@bibilar48]

FYI: A surgeon's knot uses less cord than two square knots do, so might be easier to hide in a tila. If surgeons use them, they must be secure.

[@kate4121]

Love this project. Thank you. Also love your ring and would like to know how to make that.

[@AbbiBerta]

Thanks! Look a few videos back and you’ll find the tutorial for my rings.

[@rosinajackson758]

Enjoyed your video, it was very comprehensive. I would be happier if you had explained a bit more re: sizing. I want to make a friend who is celebrating her 90th birthday a bracelet. I don't have her wrist size so I thought a stretch bracelet would be a solution.Unfortunately it isn't. Is there another way to make this a fit?

[@gaaj2012]

great tutorial! thank you

[@NaeKai]

I'm struggling with these box knots. They're coming untied as soon as I let go of them. 2 sets + glue are way too thick to tuck into the bead. What am I doing wrong??? Other than that, great tutorial. Thank you!

[@karenarcadipane1333]

Great tutorial 🎉❤

[@estellelukoff8691]

You mentioned a specialty glue instead of E6000. What kind is that? Do you find stretch magic to dry and stretch out over time? Thank you…really enjoyed your video.

[@deborahcommander8889]

Great video! Thanks!!

[@KJ-fx1se]

Hi Abbi! Great tutorial once again! Thank you. ☺️

[@samryankay]

How many tila beads does it take to make this bracelet?

[@lilbrowngirlwithlocs4038]

Thank you for this video!!

[@AbbiBerta]

You are so welcome!

[@mibdaemen]

Perfect and beautiful! Thanks for the tutoriel !🙌😉

[@JoanOickle]

I am having trouble fitting knots into the Tila beads

[@nikkihoffman2891]

Same! It’s the hardest part of the process for me..

[@beccamacfarlane3248]

Mine keep breaking when I try so I clamped a little metal cover over the knots

[@lindahenry8575]

Love these!!!!!

[@grannyjclay-joannieholdhus925]

Thank you!!❤

[@NancySteward-fd5og]

The beads are beautiful but tieing the elastic is not so easy. Had to redo bracelet twice. Tips?

[@thomasdivelbiss1302]

Do you have a way that you like to make sure that all of your beads are facing the same way? I've found it so difficult to tell sometimes which side of the bead is flat, and which is slightly domed.

[@terridatcher2342]

Beautiful family

[@valerieguillande4643]

Hello Abbi! I'm French and I'm a beginner in Tila bracelet...Thank's for your video...I use 0.5 elastic thread but........my knots are too big to enter into the bead hole...HELP!!!!

[@droberts3406]

Very helpful! Thanks!!

[@robinmcauley3462]

Beautiful

[@jeannemaxie]

Thank you❤️

[@bethweldon9139]

Hi- great video Do you have any problems with the bracelet being elastic ? And putting and taking it off?

[@sueiversen3159]

Very nice video

[@AbbiBerta]

Thank you!

[@anniefeld2158]

Un grand merci👍👍👍👍👍

[@janclancy158]

I loved watching your videos! I tried to tie the knots that you demonstrated, but the knot was slightly too big to go through 0.5mm tila bead. How do I make the knots smaller?

[@evedillingham6847]

100% agree. Knot was too large to be pulled into the Tila holes. 😢 I ended up crimping a crimp bead cover over each knot to hide them. Looks much better than Stretch Magic knots!

[@vickygonzales1341]

Beautiful 😍

[@TheChisenti]

So great 👌🏻 how long is it?

[@JulieBowen-m4o]

I just watched this video and I didn’t see you prestretch the elastic, do you recommend this?

[@hulie67Julie]

Love

[@kathrynstewart6391]

Ok. First off, great video! So calm and reassuring! But my knots are so so big. Do I have to make four times on the knots? My tila beads seem to have a very small hole. Thank you!

[@amberhedglin]

I just bought a tile bead kit from Michael's to try to make bracelets out of tiles. But it looks hard and complicated to do.

[@JoDoDesigns2011]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@gregoriagroup7743]

Fab video! The E6000 hidden knot idea is brilliant. Question: are all tilas 1.9 high? I with they made taller ones….. or i suppose i can just continue to stack.

[@iraciaffonso1111]

Onde encontrar essas contas?

[@judyeldridge5786]

Cute

[@AbbiBerta]

Thanks!

[@kategesick2801]

Hello Abbi! I love your tutorial on how to make tila bead bracelets! Thank you so much for doing such a clear video. I teach beading classes at the library where I work and we will be making these in September. Is it ok if I use your tutorial to get them started? Also a quick question: do you stretch your .5mm cord first? Thanks so much! Kate

[@AbbiBerta]

Totally okay! Thanks for asking! Feel free to send us a message through www.beadplace.net and we can get you an official permission email if you need it. We can also send over any learning materials we have on file for this project.

[@AbbiBerta]

To answer your question, I do pre-stretch it but only slightly. I usually make sure it’s tied while stretched a bit if I feel it has relaxed at all while stringing.

[@stephanieduarte4118]

I wasn't able to find the half silver plated tillas at your store online

[@minkaf4243]

Nice bracelet. The moving camera is making me seasick. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@beanjean60]

Can you use GS Hypo-cement glue.

[@Mel-p9o]

Are these 5 x 5

[@amberhedglin]

It looks so complicated and so hard.

[@karlaraejohnson6513]

I’m not twisting my strands (also using Czech glass tile beads), but my bracelet looks twisted when I tie it off. I’m using the same cord you are using (though I’ve had it a while) and the strands are NOT twisted, but the bracelet doesn’t hang in a circle...the beads turn. I move the cord I’m tying off back and forth in the beads and when I pick up the ends, the bracelet hangs properly. Without moving anything I tie off the two ends of the same cord and it twists. I even tied both cords properly and tried to gently stretch/slide the beads along through the bracelet, but it still looks misshapen. Ideas?

[@AbbiBerta]

Hi there! Hmm, not sure... could it be that the strands have been tied too tightly? Our project features Japanese Tila tile beads rather than the Czech Tile beads but I don’t think that would make much of a difference in the way it lays. Feel free to send us a picture on Facebook to “The Bead Place” and we can maybe help spot the problem.

[@sylviaradovan7310]

hello Abbi how are you? excellent video, just one question: you mentioned a different glue at your store, could you give us the name? Thanks again!

[@jackiepoole5468]

Is it necessary to stretch the cording before you begin stringing?
