TYVEK BEADS PART 1

Hello all, I'm going to try and do a tutorial.
I cut the a 12 in Sq, I painted it with cheep
acrylic paint then used a piece of old plastic
table cloth as a stencil,used bronze metallic.
You can use any kind of paint, ink etc.

Tried to put the excess on the tyvek, but not a good idea..

Cut them out in a flag shape, I cut 1 in. but 1 1/2  I like better.

Start rolling on the large side, add a touch of glue
and start rolling, add a little glue to the end..
I used skewers you can use what eve you have.

Here they are all rolled up
Part 2 next sorry I have to do it in 2 post//

TYVEK BEADS PART 2

With tyvek it's about applying heat, you can use
a heat gun like I did, you must take it off while it's
still hot, use pliers, it's hot:O) heated one on the
bottom, I like the grundged look better

These I added colored wire, heated on on the left.

 

The 2 above I rolled in a Timmy's resist, you can use
any kind, then dipped them in clear embossing powder.

Made some out of paper, her's are gorgeous, like  glass..

This shows how it reacts to heat depending on
the side you heat, it bubbles, give great texture
to your project..

This piece I made over 10 yrs ago with my DS
Sandy showed me how to play with it.
I painted it, sewed it on her fancy Serger sewing machine
then heated it.
Here are 2 videos showing how to play with tyvek
