About the Nexus Bugle Bead Bracelet
This bracelet pattern originated when I found out that Eureka Crystal Beads would begin stocking the Miyuki Tila and Half Tila beads. I really began to play around with them after sharing the Half Tila Herringbone bracelet tutorial, and love how well they pair with Miyuki bugle and seed beads.
Colors Used in this bracelet:
Bugles — Matte Black AB
Tilas — Opaque Smoke Gray Luster
Seed Beads — TOHO Nickel PlatedÂ
