The little quarter tilas are 5×1.2mm and work well on their own to create an interesting contrasting shape. They work very well with many 2-hole beads.
The Cleopatra bracelet by Erika Sandor combines them with 2-hole gemduos to create a simple but effective recurring motif.
Their slim shape also act as effective spacers and a structural element. The Cosima Bracelet design combines them with the 2-hole ginkos and honeycomb beads. This lovely design is also by Erika Sandor. It can also be used to make a pendant or a pair of earrings. You could also hang three to create a V-shape for a necklace and add a drop to the bottom motif.
Half tila beads are 5×2.3mm. This Pendulum Earrings design from Leslie Pope is suitable for a confident beginner and combines the half tilas with full tilas to create a fun pair of swinging earrings.
Full tilas which measure 5x5mm are easy to use just on their own. The design by Leslie Rogalski is suitable for an advanced beginner and uses square stitch. It combines three colours of the full tila beads so you can choose to create a blended or contrasting effect.
The It Takes Two bracelet by Leslie Rogalski is a very easy way to combine a random selection of quarter, half and full tilas in a variety of colours to make a friendship style bracelet.
