Miyuki Tila Beads – Japanese Two-Hole Glass Beads

Miyuki Tila beads are Japanese glass beads with a flat, square shape and two threading holes. Explore colours and finishes for patterned bracelets, necklaces and decorative beadwork, whether you are following a pattern or planning your own colour combination.

Full-size Tila beads measure approximately 5 × 5 × 1.9mm, with approximately 0.8mm holes. Their two-hole construction gives you options for arranging rows and connecting beads within designs written for this shape. Check your pattern’s requirements before selecting your supplies.

Browse Miyuki Tila beads by their TL colour codes to find a specified shade or coordinate several finishes. The collection includes options such as opaque, metallic and lustre finishes. Match the full colour code and finish when buying additional beads for an existing project.

Full-size Tila, Half Tila and Quarter Tila beads have different dimensions. Choose the shape named in your pattern rather than treating them as direct substitutes. Some patterns combine these shapes, so check the quantities required for each one.

Before ordering, compare each listing’s pack weight and approximate bead count with your project requirements. Allow extra beads for samples, adjustments or matching accessories. Choose thread and needles that fit the holes while leaving room for the number of passes your pattern needs.

Use Miyuki Tila beads to explore geometric layouts, repeating colour sequences and contrasting finishes. Start with a small sample to check how your chosen beads and stringing materials work together before completing the design.
