  • Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather your Miyuki Tila beads, 15/0 seed beads, leather cord, magnetic clasp, E6000 glue, beading thread, and tools.
    Start the Bracelet: Tie your thread to the leather cord, and begin adding your Tila beads and seed beads, creating a base width to fit the magnetic clasp.
    Add Beads Creatively: Use a mix of Tila bead sizes and seed beads to form a mosaic or patchwork pattern. Ensure to loop the thread over and under the leather to secure the beads.
    Continue Weaving: Keep adding beads, alternating sizes and colors to enhance the mosaic effect. Use the thread to secure and define the pattern.
    Prepare to Finish: Once your bracelet reaches the desired length, prepare the ends for the clasp by gluing the threads and leather ends.
    Attach the Clasp: Apply E6000 glue to the bracelet ends and inside the magnetic clasp. Insert the ends into the clasp, ensuring a tight fit. Allow the glue to cure before wearing.
