How To Make Easy Stretchy Tile Bracelets With Tila Beads

[@juliar286]

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!!

[@patriciarochelle6084]

Looks like a new obsession!

[@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!

[@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.

[@phyllistinetinker9076]

I know this is old but thank you for sharing your talent with us so that we could learn ❤

[@lauryhoose2534]

What a wonderful instructor, what a great tutorial! I can’t wait to purchase a bunch of tilas.

[@marshamcallister3251]

Abbi, thanks so much. I so enjoy watching you create. You are a very good jewelry instructor, you make it so easy to learn and create. I do not feel intimidated by the work. So thanks again. Stay well and God Bless.🇺🇸

[@AbbiBerta]

Wow, thank you so much! Glad to hear it!

[@karenbuchholz1801]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I've been beading for a few years, and have naturally gravitated to the cube and tila beads. Your tutorial is very informative, and offers the guidance I so desperately need. I think I will make it a point to practice first, before I become better at it. Thank you!

[@scottthornton4214]

I really like your color choices. Pretty.

[@AbbiBerta]

Thank you!

[@cymbo12]

Such a helpful tutorial from start to finish. Thank you for explaining every step!

[@closriam2fine]

Another great video! The tila beads really look fantastic in this video. Kudos to the videographer.

[@AbbiBerta]

Thank you!

[@donnafuhs2783]

best tutorial on tila beads i have watched. thanks for the details!!

[@soniavazquez5434]

Thanks ! Love this. I bought some of this tile beads and didn’t know what to do w them. I’m a new beader...🤗🙏🙏🙏

[@AbbiBerta]

Thank you!

[@alleycat2062]

@@AbbiBerta Nice way to use Tila beads. Love this!!

[@merycoromotojrodriguez2009]

Me encanta esta forma de realizar pulseras fáciles y sencillas

[@cherylgilbert8810]

I really appreciate the way you finished off this tila bracelet with the streatchy cord Thank you!!

[@onetime9012]

Loved it! Had no idea how to use these beads thanks!!!

[@carolinecharley9420]

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

[@jeanneboening1194]

Really nice find for me. You did a SUPER great tutorial for the tila bracelets!! Best one I have seen. Thank you.

[@beverlyjohnson451]

Thank you for your well detailed instruction. I am determined to make some of these for Christmas gifts. You covered everything very well & so I am confident mine will look lovely too.

[@AbbiBerta]

Thanks so much for your comment!

[@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?

[@karenpiotrowski]

Thanks for making such a great easy to understand video

[@doloresungerleider4984]

Excellent demo and great camera focus. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Kudos to you.

[@AbbiBerta]

Thanks so much!

[@broberts6897]

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing. This was my 1st time learning about tilla (sp) beads.

[@vern11909]

Just put together the kit I won from your post. Super easy to follow directions with expert advice. Oh, and the bracelets I put together are gorgeous. 😍

[@AbbiBerta]

Glad to hear it! Thanks so much for sharing! 🥰

[@jeannepaglio5582]

This has been an excellent and easy-to-understand tutorial. Thank you.

[@darlene50vaughn]

Yessss love this TILA bracelet

[@AbbiBerta]

Thanks!

[@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!

[@RICDirector]

What size elastic are you using? Sounded like that was important....

[@annehilow1852]

Beautiful and you’re such a great instructor. Thank you!!

[@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.

[@jennyrusso8570]

Really enjoyed your video Abbi. I have never seen the quarter size Tilas before, they really make such a difference. Extremely professional. Thank you from Aussie Jen x 🌺🌺🦘🦘💜💜

[@AbbiBerta]

Thanks so much! They’re a lot of fun to design with!

[@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.

[@catherinekrause4513]

Your video was very clear… thank you so much… I will definitely will watch more from you!!! I especially appreciated you tips…

[@bethweldon9139]

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

[@bethgaither1214]

This bracelet is exactly what i was looking for. Thanks!!

[@AbbiBerta]

Awesome! Glad to hear it!

[@sjwilson1034]

Love this design, thanks so much for sharing. I will have to make one or more. Hope you and yours are healthy and happy. Take care and God bless.

[@AbbiBerta]

Thank you so much!

[@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.

[@jonidowling4383]

Thank you very much for your time. The tutorial was very helpful!

[@lindavanderjagt2246]

Thank you, I love this style.

[@Friend0212]

Love this bracelet, I just wish I was closer to your shop! Thank you for all the videos!💐

[@AbbiBerta]

Thank you so much!

[@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!

[@kimbain4368]

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

[@AbbiBerta]

Thank you!

[@bethupton385]

I love this bracelet thank you from Australia

[@AbbiBerta]

Thank you!

[@jamiecee4960]

Beautiful Bracelets.

[@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.

[@jonifejes6815]

So glad I found you. This was fantabulous. Thank you Thank you

[@susiep8255]

Would love to see a tutorial on the ring your wearing.

[@debbiebaker2178]

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

[@martamccool2740]

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

[@rhondapeltier3596]

These are so cute.

[@AbbiBerta]

Thanks!

[@MaryEatrada-l1q]

Great and easy instructions. Thank you 😊

[@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!!!!

[@iraciaffonso1111]

Onde encontrar essas contas?

[@valerieviramonte7887]

Great video, so easy to follow and the bracelet is gorgeous!

[@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!

[@viviandibrell849]

Thank you! Such pretty designs!

[@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.

[@kristinperdue6392]

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

[@AbbiBerta]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@deidrastephens4473]

[@JulieBowen-m4o]

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

[@robinmcauley3462]

Beautiful

[@martamccool2740]

Beautiful look bracelet, thanks

[@samryankay]

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

[@danaspence9431]

Thank you fun to watch you !!!very informative

[@AbbiBerta]

Thank you!

[@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.

[@TheChisenti]

So great 👌🏻 how long is it?

[@kristinekerr3688]

Absolutely love these❤ Must have both😊

[@heididay6827]

So cute and as usual a great video!

[@stephanieduarte4118]

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

[@NancySteward-fd5og]

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

[@evelynbarry5046]

pretty! thanks for sharing

[@richardyoung6951]

What colors of bead did you use on both bracelets pictured? I want to buy some of these beads but there are so many beautiful colors.

[@wafflegoddess1]

Excellent video!

[@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!

[@beanjean60]

Can you use GS Hypo-cement glue.

[@mariacristinagarces3118]

Que belleza 😊me puedes decir donde puedo comprar las Miyuki Tila pero con esos grabados ( por ejemplo :la azul ? ) estoy en Paris , soy de Colombia y por el Coronavirus me tuve que quedar y me gustaría comprar antes de irme. Muchas gracias por tu respuesta la estare esperando. Un Abrazo y ya me suscribi me encanto tu explicación.

[@AbbiBerta]

¡Gracias por mirar! Lo siento, no sé dónde encontrar estas cuentas en París.

[@obxshelly]

Hi Abbi, I found this a helpful video with nice camera angle and focus regarding beading. I have a couple of questions. I noticed that you didn't pre-stretch or pre-condition your stretch magic before using it, do you find that your finished bracelet sag after a while of use? Secondly, do the tila beads have a "right" and "wrong" side when stringing, and if so, how do you tell? Thanks in advance 😊 I just subscribed

[@Iisadawn1048]

I guess she didn’t like your question.

[@lisamack4492]

Good inspiration!

[@AbbiBerta]

Thanks!

[@fortunatamedaglia878]

Is it good to use clear nail polish instead of glue

[@AbbiBerta]

I don't advise it but some people swear by it.

[@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
