supply needs!
0:00:07.330,0:00:11.170 Hi this is Megan from Beadaholique.com and
today I'm going to show you how
0:00:11.170,0:00:13.609 to bead weave a tila bead bracelet
0:00:13.609,0:00:18.439 with kind of a lacy looking stitch
that combines ladder stitch and right angle weave
0:00:18.439,0:00:20.900 and the materials that you'll need
0:00:20.900,0:00:21.949 are
0:00:21.949,0:00:26.000 two tubes of miyuki tila beads
0:00:26.000,0:00:30.659 and one tube miyuki delica size 11/0
0:00:30.659,0:00:32.820 seed beads
0:00:32.820,0:00:36.210 and some wildfire bead weaving thread
0:00:36.210,0:00:40.110 in .006 inch size and
0:00:40.110,0:00:42.650 I'm using white because it matches
0:00:42.650,0:00:43.890 my beads
0:00:43.890,0:00:47.430 it also comes in a couple other
colors to match your beads
0:00:47.430,0:00:50.070 and we're also going to need
0:00:50.070,0:00:52.680 a strand reducer
0:00:52.680,0:00:55.100 two strand reducers
0:00:55.100,0:00:57.800 a clasp, I'm using the toggle clasp
0:00:57.800,0:00:59.520 and a couple of jump rings
0:00:59.520,0:01:01.560 to attach your findings
0:01:01.560,0:01:06.510 and the tools that we're going to use
are size twelve beading needle
0:01:06.510,0:01:09.050 a pair of scissors
0:01:09.050,0:01:09.840 and
0:01:09.840,0:01:11.910 you can also use a thread zap
0:01:11.910,0:01:14.390 to cut your thread close your work
0:01:14.390,0:01:16.710 It's one of my favorite tools
0:01:16.710,0:01:20.830 so we're going to be again
0:01:20.830,0:01:23.040 by cutting
0:01:23.040,0:01:25.880 a length of wildfire
0:01:25.880,0:01:26.520 and
0:01:26.520,0:01:27.990 you're gonna need to use
0:01:27.990,0:01:30.900 more than one thread as you work
0:01:30.900,0:01:35.050 you'll run out you'll need to tie of and
start a new thread
0:01:35.050,0:01:38.910 so go ahead and just to use a length
that is as long as you feel comfortable
0:01:38.910,0:01:44.220 working with. I usually don't like to
use more than about six feet at a time
0:01:44.220,0:01:48.520 and then since you are using a very
small eyed beading needle you might
0:01:48.520,0:01:50.229 need to run
0:01:50.229,0:01:53.869 here wildfire between your thumb nail
and the pad of your index finger a few
0:01:53.869,0:01:55.170 times
0:01:55.170,0:02:02.030 so that it will fit through the easier
0:02:02.030,0:02:04.780 so go ahead and pull your thread
0:02:04.780,0:02:06.280 through the needle
0:02:06.280,0:02:09.589 you want to leave a tail on one side
0:02:09.589,0:02:11.319 longer than the other
0:02:11.319,0:02:13.929 to start
0:02:13.929,0:02:15.489 the weaving for the bracelet
0:02:15.489,0:02:16.969 you need to string
0:02:16.969,0:02:19.680 one tila bead
0:02:19.680,0:02:22.299 and then a seed bead
0:02:22.299,0:02:25.269 and then alternate back and forth
0:02:25.269,0:02:32.269 between tila beads and seed beads
0:02:32.979,0:02:33.839 until you have
0:02:33.839,0:02:34.979 five
0:02:34.979,0:02:36.389 tilas
0:02:36.389,0:02:42.979 with the seed bead between each of them
0:02:42.979,0:02:45.989 go ahead and pull back
0:02:45.989,0:02:48.519 down making sure that you leave
0:02:48.519,0:02:53.709 about a six inch tail at the end of your
0:02:53.709,0:02:56.609 then you're going to pick up
0:02:56.609,0:03:03.159 three more seed beads
0:03:03.159,0:03:04.619 and you're gonna pull
0:03:04.619,0:03:07.149 your needle back through
0:03:07.149,0:03:14.149 the other hole of the last tila bead
0:03:17.349,0:03:18.999 and you pull it tight
0:03:18.999,0:03:21.069 leave a loop
0:03:21.069,0:03:22.669 at the end
0:03:22.669,0:03:24.309 of the tila bead
0:03:24.309,0:03:26.769 then you're going to
0:03:26.769,0:03:30.999 go back through the other holes of all
your tila beads
0:03:30.999,0:03:34.249 putting one seed bead between each tila bead
0:03:34.249,0:03:36.839 pick up the seed bead
0:03:36.839,0:03:37.939 go through
0:03:37.939,0:03:41.419 the second row of the next tila
0:03:41.419,0:03:44.199 another seed bead
0:03:44.199,0:03:51.199 go through the next tila
0:03:53.599,0:03:56.639 if it gets tangled up just make sure
that you
0:03:56.639,0:03:59.349 get it untwisted before you
0:03:59.349,0:04:06.349 pull tight
0:04:14.789,0:04:17.060 and once you get back through
0:04:17.060,0:04:19.880 all five tilas
0:04:19.880,0:04:26.880 then pick up three more seed beads
0:04:36.860,0:04:43.860 manning go back through that whole row
0:04:47.129,0:04:49.560 and pull it tight
0:04:49.560,0:04:51.840 and if you lost the tail end
0:04:51.840,0:04:54.219 you can just
0:04:54.219,0:05:01.219 pull it back
0:05:04.110,0:05:06.789 so that should be what your first row
0:05:06.789,0:05:09.310 looks like
0:05:09.310,0:05:15.340 and that is basically like a ladder
stitch
0:05:15.340,0:05:18.229 then we're going to do the
0:05:18.229,0:05:20.199 right angle weave
0:05:20.199,0:05:24.330 portion of the stitch and you're
going to come through the next
0:05:24.330,0:05:26.849 two seed beads
0:05:26.849,0:05:33.270 at the end of that loop
0:05:33.270,0:05:34.680 and then pick up
0:05:34.680,0:05:37.939 three more seed beads
0:05:37.939,0:05:42.009 and go back through the last seed bead next
next to the tila
0:05:42.009,0:05:44.520 through the tila
0:05:44.520,0:05:51.520 and through the following seed bead
0:05:53.400,0:05:56.680 pull that tight
0:05:56.680,0:06:00.059 make a little square four beads
0:06:00.059,0:06:02.050 your going to repeat that for all of
0:06:02.050,0:06:06.319 to seed beads between the tila beads
on that side
0:06:06.319,0:06:11.009 grab three more beads
0:06:11.009,0:06:14.879 and go back through the
0:06:14.879,0:06:17.240 seed bead
0:06:17.240,0:06:24.240 through the tila and up to the next
seed bead
0:06:30.440,0:06:37.440 continue along until you get to the end
0:06:50.339,0:06:52.389 and at the end I want to come
0:06:52.389,0:06:54.719 through the last tila out through
0:06:54.719,0:07:01.719 the seed bead right next to it as well
0:07:02.650,0:07:07.409 and you want to go ahead and add
0:07:07.409,0:07:08.919 the right angle
0:07:08.919,0:07:10.029 portion
0:07:10.029,0:07:11.599 to the last
0:07:11.599,0:07:18.599 seed bead here as well
0:07:18.699,0:07:25.699 if you can get it through there
0:07:28.849,0:07:31.079 then you're gonna flip it over
0:07:31.079,0:07:34.819 and bring your needle up through the
next
0:07:34.819,0:07:41.819 two seed beads
0:07:41.900,0:07:46.519 and then you're gonna pick up
tila bead
0:07:46.519,0:07:53.519 and then you're going to go through the
top of this little group of four beads here
0:07:53.990,0:07:56.129 you can see when you pull it tight
0:07:56.129,0:08:01.989 that the edge of that tila bead is
going to set right inside those corners
0:08:01.989,0:08:04.529 you continue to pick up
0:08:04.529,0:08:07.770 the tila bead go through the top
0:08:07.770,0:08:11.099 bead of that cluster
0:08:11.099,0:08:18.099 all the way across until you've added
five tila beads
0:08:31.020,0:08:32.420 then when you get
0:08:32.420,0:08:34.060 all five on
0:08:34.060,0:08:35.950 you're going to
0:08:35.950,0:08:39.280 flip it over
0:08:39.280,0:08:40.580 and pick up
0:08:40.580,0:08:42.200 two seed beads
0:08:42.200,0:08:44.000 and then you're gonna go
0:08:44.000,0:08:50.330 back down through the whole of the
tila
0:08:50.330,0:08:52.670 and add a seed bead
0:08:52.670,0:08:55.770 between each tila bead as you go
through
0:08:55.770,0:09:02.770 the other row of holes in the tila
beads
0:09:10.130,0:09:14.340 then you'll add
0:09:14.340,0:09:17.090 two more seed beads
0:09:17.090,0:09:20.780 and you're gonna go back down through
0:09:20.780,0:09:22.190 this last seed bead
0:09:22.190,0:09:23.630 next to the
0:09:23.630,0:09:26.900 holes on the other side of the tila
0:09:26.900,0:09:28.560 and then you go all the way back
0:09:28.560,0:09:35.560 down through that row of beads
0:09:45.700,0:09:47.850 to start the next row
0:09:47.850,0:09:50.650 flip it over
0:09:50.650,0:09:51.910 go through the other
0:09:51.910,0:09:56.170 two seed beads on that loop
0:09:56.170,0:09:59.170 and then you're gonna go ahead and keep
adding
0:09:59.170,0:10:03.150 rows of the right angle weave seed beads
0:10:03.150,0:10:04.380 followed by
0:10:04.380,0:10:07.550 filling in the rows of beads
0:10:07.550,0:10:10.610 and you're gonna work until your
bracelet is long enough to fit around
0:10:10.610,0:10:12.360 your wrist
0:10:12.360,0:10:14.340 to make sure you leave space
0:10:14.340,0:10:17.980 for your strand reducers and your toggle
clasp so
0:10:17.980,0:10:20.000 you wanna make it about an inch
0:10:20.000,0:10:25.740 shorter then the finished length
that you want
0:10:25.740,0:10:26.850 and as you work
0:10:26.850,0:10:29.930 when you run out of thread you'll need to
0:10:29.930,0:10:34.090 tie off and weave in your threads and
start new thread and we do you have
0:10:34.090,0:10:36.600 an instructional video on how to do that
0:10:36.600,0:10:39.400 if you'd need to know how to do that
0:10:39.400,0:10:41.430 otherwise going to go ahead and
0:10:41.430,0:10:45.400 just work this, I'm working for about
six inches long
0:10:45.400,0:10:49.300 you can make it just as long as you
need it to be
0:10:49.300,0:10:51.110 Once you get
0:10:51.110,0:10:53.200 your bracelet woven
0:10:53.200,0:10:56.610 as long as you want it to be
0:10:56.610,0:10:58.769 long enough to reach comfortably around your
wrist
0:10:58.769,0:11:00.660 with a little bit of extra room
0:11:00.660,0:11:02.450 for your toggle clasp
0:11:02.450,0:11:03.649 that's gonna add
0:11:03.649,0:11:08.540 about an inch to it so make sure you
leave room for that
0:11:08.540,0:11:11.880 to attach a clasp
0:11:11.880,0:11:13.710 is when you come out of
0:11:13.710,0:11:16.000 your last row of stitching
0:11:16.000,0:11:17.740 normally you'd go back up
0:11:17.740,0:11:21.630 through these beads and start more of the
right angle weave
0:11:21.630,0:11:22.920 sections
0:11:22.920,0:11:24.680 what we're gonna do instead
0:11:24.680,0:11:29.450 is go through your last seed beads
0:11:29.450,0:11:32.790 and then go through
0:11:32.790,0:11:34.340 the tila beads
0:11:34.340,0:11:39.420 but not that seed bead there
0:11:39.420,0:11:44.880 put up one seed bead
0:11:44.880,0:11:47.630 and then bring your needle through
0:11:47.630,0:11:49.420 one of the loops
0:11:49.420,0:11:52.140 in the strand reducer
0:11:52.140,0:11:55.370 and you want to use a strand reducer
that has
0:11:55.370,0:11:56.769 one fewer
0:11:56.769,0:11:59.960 loops then number tila beads that
you have
0:11:59.960,0:12:05.000 so I used five tila beads across and
using a four strand reducer
0:12:05.000,0:12:10.650 if you use three you'd want two
strand reducer and so on
0:12:10.650,0:12:16.210 then you're gonna pick up one more
seed bead
0:12:16.210,0:12:17.990 then you're gonna take a needle
0:12:17.990,0:12:20.290 back down into the row of the bracelet
0:12:20.290,0:12:22.979 right where you came out continuing on
0:12:22.979,0:12:24.690 to the left
0:12:24.690,0:12:28.540 so through that seed bead
0:12:28.540,0:12:34.390 and then you're gonna go through the
next tila bead and the next seed bead
0:12:34.390,0:12:38.460 pull that tight
0:12:38.460,0:12:42.730 and grab another seed bead
0:12:42.730,0:12:45.230 good down through
0:12:45.230,0:12:49.260 the next loop in the strand reducer
0:12:49.260,0:12:51.780 pick up another seed bead
0:12:51.780,0:12:53.040 Again you're gonna
0:12:53.040,0:12:55.070 put your needle back into the
0:12:55.070,0:12:56.100 row
0:12:56.100,0:12:57.780 where you came out
0:12:57.780,0:12:59.100 going the other or
0:12:59.100,0:13:04.190 continuing on in the same direction to
the left
0:13:04.190,0:13:06.360 and you come out
0:13:06.360,0:13:13.120 just after the tila bead before the
seed bead
0:13:13.120,0:13:16.160 As you work across make sure that
you keep
0:13:16.160,0:13:20.790 you thread nice and tight
0:13:20.790,0:13:22.340 just repeat
0:13:22.340,0:13:26.580 that process. Pickup a seed bead
0:13:26.580,0:13:32.210 go through the next loop
0:13:32.210,0:13:37.080 one more seed bead
0:13:37.080,0:13:39.300 go through the
0:13:39.300,0:13:42.130 tila bead and then down also through
0:13:42.130,0:13:48.820 the seed bead
0:13:48.820,0:13:52.430 grab a seed bead
0:13:52.430,0:13:59.430 go through the last loop on the strand reducer
0:14:00.150,0:14:05.690 grab another seed bead and then you're going
to
0:14:05.690,0:14:09.030 come back through your bracelet
0:14:09.030,0:14:10.510 through the very last
0:14:10.510,0:14:13.390 tila bead
0:14:13.390,0:14:15.200 and pull it tight
0:14:15.200,0:14:18.180 this is going to
0:14:18.180,0:14:19.560 give your
0:14:19.560,0:14:21.690 one single loop
0:14:21.690,0:14:24.800 to attach your clasp to
0:14:24.800,0:14:29.070 so what you do from that point is go
ahead and
0:14:29.070,0:14:33.780 tie off your thread and weave the ends in
which you can see
0:14:33.780,0:14:36.380 another instructional video we have
about
0:14:36.380,0:14:37.640 tying off
0:14:37.640,0:14:41.110 and beginning new thread in bead weaving
0:14:41.110,0:14:44.770 once you've attached your strand reducer
you're going to attach one-half of
0:14:44.770,0:14:46.820 a toggle clasp
0:14:46.820,0:14:51.790 you'll just need to use a jump ring and
some chain nose pliers
0:14:51.790,0:14:57.380 I also like to use bent chain nose to hold
the other side in place
0:14:57.380,0:15:00.280 when I'm working with jump rings
0:15:00.280,0:15:02.300 so grab your jump ring
0:15:02.300,0:15:05.030 make sure it's open if it's not you can
just
0:15:05.030,0:15:07.610 bend it open
0:15:07.610,0:15:09.900 then place
0:15:09.900,0:15:12.840 one half of your toggle clasp
0:15:12.840,0:15:14.760 on the jump ring
0:15:14.760,0:15:19.470 and then place the loop and the strand reducer
on the jump ring
0:15:19.470,0:15:26.470 and close it up
0:15:32.230,0:15:35.870 then you're going to repeat the same
process to attach your strand reducer
0:15:35.870,0:15:37.220 on the other side
0:15:37.220,0:15:41.160 and make sure when you're do that you go
ahead and start with a new
0:15:41.160,0:15:45.899 piece of wildfire thread and
leave a tail as you
0:15:45.899,0:15:49.699 go into the work and tie that off and weave
that in and then you're going to go
0:15:49.699,0:15:55.200 ahead and attach the other side of your
toggle clasp to the strand reducer
0:15:55.200,0:15:59.310 and once you have all your threads tied
off and woven in
0:15:59.310,0:16:00.530 then you can
0:16:00.530,0:16:03.660 just go ahead and make sure all your
beads are laying flat by just putting
0:16:03.660,0:16:06.420 it on a flat surface and
0:16:06.420,0:16:10.190 pushing it flat sometimes it gets a
little bunched up
0:16:10.190,0:16:11.840 and that
0:16:11.840,0:16:14.580 is how you make this
0:16:14.580,0:16:17.270 open work style
