New beads to inspire you

There are two new beads to look for at your local bead store. The new quarter Tila bead from Miyuki and the Amos par Puca bead from Puca.

QUARTER TILA BEADS

The Miyuki Quarter Tila bead is a tiny treasure that measures 5 x 1.2 mm -- the same length as the original size Tila beads, but only a quarter of the width.

With this new addition, Tila beads now come in three sizes. The original size is 5 x 5 mm and the Half Tila measures 5 x 2.3 mm. Use them separately or all together for a creative and colorful look! They are available now in a variety of colors.

AMOS PARA PUCA BEADS

The Amos par Puca bead has two holes along the edge, with a point on one end and a curve on the other, creating a raindrop-like shape!

The sides with the holes are straight and the top and bottom are flat. It is the newest bead in the Puca series that include the Kheops, Super Kheops, Arcos, Minos, Ios, and Tinos par Puca beads.

This new bead will be available soon in the U.S. but is available now in the U.K. on several websites. Keep an eye out for them at your local bead store, they’re worth the wait!
