This summer, I have found myself outside more often than I have been seated at my workbench...I'm almost excited for winter so I can hibernate with my beads! I did, however, find a little bit of time to make this neat little cuff!
I love black and white checkerboard patterns. I made this one with Miyuki Tilas (my favorite!), stitching the beads together using a simple ladder stitch. It took about 1.5 tubes of each color of Tilas to finish this bracelet.
On the bracelet, I left out a little window for a toggle to fit though. I made toggle using 1.8mm Miyuki cube beads paired with the Tilas. It was attached using a few of the matte black cube beads. And there you have a very easy closure! The finished product fits like a glove and is very comfortable to wear.I probably should rename this blog to tilabeads.blogspot.com! I think I am their biggest cheerleader!
